Becoming a mentor
What the application asks for, how it is reviewed, and what changes in your account the day it is approved.
If you want to start mentoring, or your application was rejected and you want to know why, this is the page. Mentoring on Revquix is an application, not a switch. You apply once, a person reads it, and if it is approved your account gains a second side - a place to list services, hold availability and take payment - alongside the one you already use.
What the application asks for#
Three steps, and you can leave and come back.
- Intro. Who you are and what you want to help people with.
- Details. The four things below, all required.
- Motivation. Why you want to do this. This is read, not skimmed.
Step two is where applications stall, so it is worth knowing the requirements before you start:
| Field | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Professional headline | One line on what you do. |
| About me | At least 100 characters. This is what reviewers and, later, mentees actually read. |
| LinkedIn profile URL | Validated as a real profile URL, e.g. linkedin.com/in/your-name. |
| Profile photo | Croppable, replaceable later. |
The 100-character minimum on the bio is a floor, not a target. Two sentences clears it; the ones that get approved say what you would actually help somebody with.
Nothing is submitted until you finish the last step. If you close the tab partway, the next visit offers to pick up where you stopped rather than starting again.
What happens after you submit#
Your application sits in one of four states, and the page always shows which:
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pending | Submitted and waiting to be read. |
| Approved | You are a mentor. The mentor side of the dashboard appears. |
| Rejected | Not this time. The decision is recorded with a reason. |
| Withdrawn | You pulled it back yourself. |
There is no queue position and no estimated date, because there is no automated step to estimate - a person reads every one.
What approval actually changes#
Approval does not publish anything. It gives you the tools; what you do with them is a separate decision, and nothing is visible to buyers until you deliberately publish a service.
On approval you gain:
- Services - build and price what you offer. See your services.
- Calendar - the hours you are bookable.
- Bookings and Orders - what has been booked and what has been paid.
- Reliability - how consistently you deliver, scored once you have enough sessions.
- Earnings and Payout Accounts - where the money goes.
If you are rejected#
You are told why. The two that come up most:
- The application describes a job title rather than what somebody gets from an hour with you. "Senior engineer at a large company" is a fact about you; "I can take you through system design interviews for backend roles" is an offer.
- The claimed experience cannot be corroborated, usually because the LinkedIn profile does not reflect it.
Reapplying is allowed. Reapplying with the same text is not worth your time.
