If you’re new to your career, you’re probably looking for a way to get experience — and, possibly, a job. If you’re an employer, you’re probably looking for talented entry-level hires. But no matter how many Meetups you go to, or how many recruiting services you use, neither of you seem to find the right fit.
What if it isn’t about finding the right fit? What if it’s about investing in people who could become the right fit —or investing in a job that will help you grow your skills? At Viget, we believe mentorship bridges the gap between jobs in need of talented people, and talented people in need of experience. Mentorship is in our DNA — it’s at the heart of our internship and apprenticeship programs, and it’s a core ingredient to the happiness and success of our full-timers.

The Odyssey’s Millennia-Old Model of Mentorship
by B.R.J. O’Donnell

What Nobody Tells You About Finding Mentors
by Ryan Holiday
“Very rarely does anyone else help anyone else out for genuinely altruistic reasons. So think about how you can help them out, and let that define how you act and think...having a whiz kid or a protege around is good for business, that’s why they’re doing it.”

We believe the best work happens when talented people trust each other enough to be real and take risks — and we’re looking to grow our team!
