The people who arrive stuck.
Students and recent graduates
Applying into hospitality and gaming around Las Vegas with nobody at home who can explain how the hiring actually works.
Job seekers
Strong on paper, stalling at interview, and with no one in Nevada who will say plainly what the shortlist turns on.
Career changers
Moving out of technology, or across to it, with a resume that still reads like the last job rather than the next one.
The fields Nevada mentees ask about most.
Matching is cross-border. A mentor in another state, or another country, is normal and often the whole point.

The questions we hear most here.
Asked from Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson and Carson City, and from everywhere in between.
How do I move off shift work into a salaried role with normal hours?
How do I explain how hospitality operations experience reads as management experience elsewhere?
How do I get into hospitality and gaming without knowing anyone already in it?
Should I stay in Nevada, move for the job, or work remotely for an employer elsewhere?
What does a strong application look like when the reader has never been to Nevada?
Who pays for this.
Employers running Give, so their people mentor outside the business
Colleges and universities buying career access for their students
Charities and foundations widening opportunity for the people they serve
Employers running Redirect for the candidates they turn down

The things people ask first.
Do I have to live in Nevada to book?
No. Anyone can book. This page exists because the questions we hear here repeat.
Is it really free?
Free to you. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.
Will my mentor be local?
Sometimes. We match on the job you are aiming at first, so your mentor may work in Nevada or on the other side of the world.
How long until I am matched?
Most people are matched within a few days, then pick a slot in PT.
Will my mentor understand the Nevada job market?
Often, yes. Where the better match sits elsewhere, the advice is still set against what you are facing here, including how hospitality operations experience reads as management experience elsewhere.
Can I be matched with someone in hospitality and gaming?
Yes. It is one of the areas Nevada mentees ask about most, and mentors in it volunteer across the network.
Get unstuck in Nevada.
Thirty minutes with someone who has already done it, whether you are in Las Vegas or two hours from the nearest one. Free to you, always.
