Beta Test Instructions for MyCareerMentor
The Beta version of the MyCareerMentor application runs in a browser window. In addition to the browser version, we plan to eventually also offer a native mobile app version for smartphones and tablets. The browser app has been tested with recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. This Beta version provides some information in pdf files which include links to internet resources, so if you are using an Android platform (such as a Kindle) which does not have a reader which allows active links in a pdf file, you will have to load a pdf reader capable of launching links onto your device if you want to experience the full functionality of the app.
We encourage you to check out our website at http://www.consideredthoughtfully.com and then go to our Mentoring Tools page to launch MyCareerMentor.
Alternatively, you may use your favorite browser to go directly to the app URL: https://guru-prod.herokuapp.com
If this is your first time using MyCareerMentor, click register in the upper right corner, then enter your email address and a password of your choice. If you return to the app, you can login using your email address and password, and the app will take you back to your last location.
Once you’ve registered and are in the app for the first time, read the first question, then select an answer from the choices provided. When you click on your answer, you will be taken to a new screen. We encourage you to explore the app by selecting answers appropriate for your own situation; if you are willing to give us even more input, we encourage you to explore answers you think other aspiring professionals might give.
After a series of questions, you will be offered a learning opportunity, which may be an experiment you could do, information to read, or a link to an external resource. This learning opportunity may include more information than fits on one screen, in which case there will be an arrow to open the full article or a link to a pdf file that will open in a new browser tab. You can close this new browser tab once you have read the information, and you should be returned to active app with the Next Step link.
