ADPList: Find a Mentor, Start a Conversation

Figuring out what to study, which career to pursue, how to build your portfolio or where to take your skills next can feel difficult when you are trying to navigate everything alone. ADPList offers a simple alternative: connect directly with people who have experience in the fields you are exploring and have a one-on-one conversation with them.

ADPList has grown into a global mentorship platform with 36,000+ active mentors across 160+ countries, spanning different skills and career levels. Its platform allows you to explore mentors by areas of expertise, look at their professional backgrounds and book sessions with people whose experience is relevant to your goals.

What can you talk about?

Mentorship does not have to mean asking someone to find you a job. You can use a session to understand a career, get feedback on something you have created, discuss a transition, prepare for an interview or simply make sense of what you should focus on next.

ADPList currently features expertise across areas such as AI, content writing, data science, design, engineering, marketing, product, product research, sales and business development, talent acquisition, and no-code/low-code.

You could find a mentor to help you with:

• Career direction and professional growth

• CV, portfolio and interview preparation

• Design and UX

• Product and research

• AI and technology

• Data and engineering

• Marketing and communications

• Writing and content

• Entrepreneurship and business

• Career transitions

Learn from people working in the real world

One of the interesting things about ADPList is the range of professionals represented on the platform. Current mentor profiles include people working with or having experience at organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Airbnb, Netflix, OpenAI, Anthropic, Figma and Stripe, alongside professionals from many other organizations and independent practitioners.

The point, however, isn't to chase the biggest company name. What matters is finding someone whose experience connects with the question you actually have. A conversation with the right person can give you practical context that you may not find in a course, job description or search result.

You don't need to have everything figured out

You can arrive with a specific question, a project you want reviewed, a career decision you're considering or simply uncertainty about where to go next. ADPList recommends preparing an agenda and identifying the questions or topics you would like to discuss before your first meeting.

Many mentors offer sessions free of charge, which makes one-to-one professional guidance considerably more accessible than traditional career coaching. Availability and session terms vary by mentor, so check the individual mentor's profile before booking.
