The people who arrive stuck.
Students and recent graduates
Applying into technology and software and shared services around Prague against people who already had someone make the call for them.
Job seekers who keep reaching the last round
Strong applications, no useful feedback, and no one in Prague who can say what the shortlist actually turns on.
People early in a job here
First or second role in Prague, working hard, with nobody explaining how progression or pay is decided.
Career changers
Moving out of manufacturing and engineering or into it, with a CV that still reads like the last job rather than the next one.
The fields our mentors work in.
Mentors volunteer 30 minutes. Matching is cross-border, so a mentor outside the city is normal and often the point.

The things people ask first.
Do I have to live in Prague to book?
No. Matching is cross-border, so a mentor is chosen for the job they do rather than the city they sit in.
Is it really free?
Free to you. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.
How soon can I get a session?
Sign up, tell us what you are stuck on, and pick a slot in CET once you are matched.
Can I be matched with someone in technology and software?
Yes. Technology and software is one of the areas Prague mentees ask about most, and mentors in it volunteer across the network.
Will my mentor understand the Prague job market?
Often, yes. Where the better match sits elsewhere, you still get someone who does the job you are aiming at, and the advice is set against what you are facing in Prague.
Get unstuck from Prague.
Thirty minutes with someone who has already done it. Free to you, wherever you are sitting.
