Find a job twice as fast
Sign up for our FREE, INTENSIVE and MADE TO MEASURE coaching program: for 6 months, 2 to 3 hours a week, you and your mentor will work hard to get you a job!
To find a job, you sometimes need a helping hand, especially when you’re young and not familiar with labour market laws. Having a mentor allows you to take stock of your background, your desires, and to respond to job offers more effectively … and it works!
What is a mentor?
At DUO for a JOB, a mentor is somebody who is both available and who has experience in your professional field, who has been trained, and who accompanies you for a maximum period of 6 months. Each week, she/he advises you, answers your questions about your background, advises how to promote your skills, while giving you the benefit of her/his practical experience feedback. It’s a good way to take an objective look at yourself, to encourage your ambition and your self-confidence, or to extend your network.
During the programme, your mentor can help you develop or improve :
Your professional project
Your self-confidence
Your CV and motivation letters
Your professional network
The way you handle job interviews
NO DEGREE OR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
To participate, you have to:
Be between 18 and 33 years old
Be of non-European nationality OR have a parent or a grandparent born outside the EU
Have a valid Belgian residence permit (except student visas or orange cards)

And needless to say, I will continue to meet with him once I actually start working.” says Khalid, once again hopeful. Jean-Louis concludes, visibly touched, that he has “already received so much in return from his mentee.
