In professional circles, it's not uncommon to encounter naive and immature individuals with ambitious career goals who may have unrealistic expectations about the journey ahead. This was 100% the case with this call. During introductory calls, when confronted with the practical realities of MentorCruise and the necessity for commitment and investment, some respond by unfairly assigning a 1-star rating to the mentor conducting the call. This reaction often stems from a reluctance to acknowledge the platform's primary role as a mentorship resource rather than an educational institution (costing 5-10 times more) and a shortcut to instant success. It's a familiar scenario. Idealistic individuals with naive, unrealistic career expectations often react unfavorably to a reality check, the realities of professional development. In this instance, the individual harbored an overly optimistic expectation of achieving a lucrative job in the industry by investing minimal funds and completing a "UX course" on the platform within six months. They struggle to accept the need for dedicated effort and investment, preferring to distort the platform's purpose to suit their desires. This situation highlights the ongoing challenge of aligning mentees' expectations with the realities of mentorship, underscoring the importance of clear communication and upholding the platform's integrity.
