The concept behind mentoring has existed since as early as ancient Greece, when Odysseus
placed his friend Mentor in charge of his son Telemachus while he went off to fight
in the Trojan War in the late 12th century BC. Obviously, we've come a long way since
the days of Homer's Odyssey, but only recently have technological advances allowed for changes in the way mentoring
is conducted, removing the necessity of meeting face-to-face whenever the mentee has
a question or the mentor an idea to share. E-mail and the Internet have opened up
new avenues for mentors and mentees to find and connect with each other—whether they
work in the same office or on opposite sides of the globe. Today, nearly everything
can be done through the Internet, from talking to friends across the world to ordering
take-out from a neighborhood restaurant to paying bills without leaving your desk—but
what about getting personalized training or advice to advance your career as a food
and nutrition professional? Web-based mentoring, or e-mentoring, if used correctly,
shows that online mentoring relationships can be just as productive and fulfilling
as traditional ones (Figure 1). After establishing the basics of the traditional mentoring relationship in last month's
Journal, this article concludes our two-part series on mentoring in the modern workplace
by exploring the nuances of mentoring online.
