Mentor wanted: moving from retail manager to cybersecurity
Maryna, a retail manager, is retraining for cybersecurity and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over three months.

I have worked as a retail manager for 8 years, and I'm 30. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into cybersecurity, and I have completed an online certificate.
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 Kharkiv Oblast, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Kharkiv Oblast. I'll ask around and let you know
So sorry you're going through this, Maryna. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Nagpur.
take care, Maryna. Your post was clear and honest.
Hang in there, Maryna. Small businesses are the heart of Kharkiv. Hope you're open again soon.
