About BGS Connect mentor search:
Use the search boxes on this page to find a mentor. Using the select mentoring categories box, you can filter via what support you require whether that be CV advice, University advice or career guidance. If you find that you cannot find a mentor using your filters, try deleting a few and searching again. If you aren't sure what you're looking for, leave all the boxes blank and click search, you will then see all of our featured mentors.
