So... I feel like a total dick for saying this, but 5 out of 7 of my last mentorship sessions have no-showed or cancelled within 10 minutes of their appointments in the past week. Only one person out of those has provided any reasonable reason. I'm really sorry - if this keeps up much longer I am not going to be able to continue the service.

If you aren't respectful of my time, please, please be respectful of the time of others who help you along your career journey. I miss every single Sunday afternoon I could spend with my family for nothing but occasional tips. Some folks wait months for these appointments.

Do not feel like a dick.
4 of 7 people wasted your time, 1 had a reason.

You set this time aside out of your ever so empty schedule (rolls eyes hard) to provide assistance to people who respond by showing up going, oh that was today?? lol, busy.

They wasted your time, they took one of a few limited spots, and only 1 offered a reason.

Imagine how much they'd be complaining if you did to them what they did to you, but you have more respect for others than they seem to have.
