Motivation
Earlier experience from being a mentor has entreaged me. The value of seeing students and young professionals in developing and giving answers to some of their curious questions rewards me. I would be extremely happy to assist students in pointing them in direction that makes sense for them. Guiding their professional choice would be satisfying and gives me ideas to assist my work with small and medium size companies in their need for recruiting their professionals.
