Mentoring with CareerFoundry is more than teaching. It’s inspiring newcomers to the field to build, to problem solve, to think like an expert, and to increase their value as professionals.

Students need more than help and experience to master the necessary skills, they need inspiration and motivation to keep them focused along the way. You're their point of entry into a new industry, so they’ll want to hear about challenges you have overcome and what the role is really like on a day-to-day basis.

• Answering general student questions

Requirements:

• Experience in the field as a Frontend Developer / Engineer, with solid skills in HTML, CSS and Javascript.
• Experience providing code reviews and bug fixes and the ability to provide feedback on this to students.
• Experience with UX design methodologies and case studies to show evidence of working on real life UX projects
• A portfolio demonstrating your skill and examples of professional projects. Professional references may be required.
• Previous experience in mentorship or tutoring is preferred. You must demonstrate an understanding of how to support beginners, have time and patience, and a strong desire to guide people along their career path in this field.
• Knowledge of the latest development tools and trends, a broad network of experts in the field, and an in-depth understanding of industry practices.
