Izabela Balazi and Mateja Mögel – #mentorandme

Volunteering, apprenticeship, traineeship or dual studies: What actually distinguishes our junior programs? Diversity, creativity, career opportunities and personal development are just a few examples. However, one key benefit should not be forgotten: After all, what would a junior program be without assistance, advice, support, advocacy, and counsel? When you enter working life, you often meet people who provide lasting inspiration and pave the way for young talent. This is exactly, where mentoring at Burda comes in – junior employees benefit from mentors who provide them with advice.

But what exactly does this mentoring look like? Who supports whom and what exactly do you do as a mentor? In our new series #mentorandme, the young professionals ask these questions! They get to know their mentors better and become exclusive interviewers themselves.

Izabela Balazi is a management trainee at Burda. Her mentor Mateja Mögel is one of Freundin's editors-in-chief. In the interview, she asked Mateja about her most formative study job, a private fun fact, and the reason why she became a mentor, among other things.
