[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 81081, member: 2672"] In terms of speaking to them, just remember they are like any other human being. They are no differernt to your university lecturers, your parents friends, your friends' parents - you don't need to talk to them any differently than any other person you interact with. They are not special in anyway and they were once in your position. There is no need to put them on a pedestal and treat them any differently. You'll impress them by delivering good quality work, seeming inquisitive, making the most of the opportunities presented to you, and being self-aware and reflective of your experiences over the period of time you are with the firm. Unfortunately if they are busy, there isn't much you can do - unfortunately their work will need to be prioritised. Maybe try to connect with other people in your department who can support you with what you are looking for your buddy/mentor to support you with instead. [/QUOTE]
