What’s Different About Our Career Advising?
➤ We ground our advising in Scripture and prayer while also drawing on research about which careers can do the most good globally.
➤ Unlike generic counseling or career services, we help you explore not only “what’s a good fit for me” but also “where can my work best serve others and advance God’s Kingdom.”
➤ Our team and specialist advisors are Christians who follow Jesus’ call to love and serve “the least of these.” We bring both biblical wisdom and real-world expertise to help you make a maximum impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are best positioned to help people who are interested in working on one of our top problem areas. These are:
-
We get back to you usually within 1–2 weeks. We will email you both whether your application was successful or not. If your application is successful, you will be contacted by a generalist advisor and invited to book a time for an initial 45 min –1 hour video call. In the call, you will discuss your current situation, plans, and uncertainties with the advisor.
-
The advisor will send you a followup email with links related to topics discussed during the call. Within 1–3 weeks, we will be in touch if we receive affirmative answers from would-be mentors. Our advisors are based in various locations so you will most likely meet them in a video call. The time and date for the call will be decided between you and the mentor.
-
This depends on the advisor. All our mentors are doing this on a volunteer basis, so they define whether they want to meet with the mentees just once or more.
