> having tried to convince many mentors in London and around London to act as a supervisor for my Chartership process (Library Assistant) unsuccessfully, I want to try finding a mentor by using this forum now. Instead of unsuccessfully applying to people directly, I thought I might use this forum to widen the approach to find a mentor.

> I have been working since 15 years in a College of Higher Education ('Regent's College London') and am looking for a mentor who is working in a similar field. I am interested in gaining a Chartership to formalise the experience I gained so far and work towards a certification, which I can use for future job application or training purposes. I can draw experience from a variety of Library work (from customer service to cataloguing, production of statistical reports to maintaining the computerised Library system ['Heritage'], only to give some examples) and bring experience from outside the Library, for example public speaking. Fluent German language skills are available.
