IM makes NO DIFFERENCE to the word or definition of a memntorship
Half of the drivel you replied with makes no difference what industry you are in , I got no idea why people think IM is sooo bloody special.
Doing work would or could be considered an apprenticeship where you go and learn on the job and do work and get paid. That's something totally different again.
Unless you actually understand what the definition is no one should be offering to guide anyone with any advice and this thread is doing a great job of actually highlighting the fact that most replies here have no clue what it is despite people claiming they offer it.
