María needs a guide into accounting - monthly calls
María, a taxi driver, is retraining for accounting and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over six months.

I have worked as a taxi driver for 18 years, and I'm 38. After a health scare, I decided to move into accounting, and I have completed a bootcamp.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my CV and LinkedIn profile, 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 six 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
