Daisuke, a farmer, is retraining for UX design and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over three months.

I have worked as a farmer for 7 years, and I'm 52. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into UX design, and I have completed a part-time diploma.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Tokyo, 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.

Good luck, Daisuke. Small businesses are the heart of Tokyo. Hope you're open again soon. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Tokyo.
You're not alone, Daisuke. Hope this works out for you. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
