Onboarding Meeting with Mentor

Hi Taro Community,

I have been reflecting on my previous internship experience. I am trying to think of ways to make the onboarding process go smoother for my upcoming internship.

For example, I notice that I have some difficulty finding certain items on the computer screen (example: debug settings on the code editor). It takes me a while to look for certain buttons the mentor is instructing me to find.

I was wondering if you have any advice to help make the interaction go more smoothly in the future. Some ideas I have:

• find a way to use the technology on my own before the meeting with the mentor (although it may be difficult since the tools might be internal to the company)
• regularly ask mentor whether I am moving in the right direction (for example: is the button you want me to look at to the left or right of the "Save" button)
