Looking for a teaching mentor: Brooks's career change at 31
Brooks, a security guard, is retraining for teaching and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over three months.

I have worked as a security guard for 12 years, and I'm 31. After the factory closing, I decided to move into teaching, and I have completed a bootcamp.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my resume and portfolio, a realistic view of the job market in California, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Bakersfield.
Stay strong, Brooks. Small businesses are the heart of Bakersfield. Hope you're open again soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning.

sending good thoughts, Brooks. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted.
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
