"Through a mentorship initiative called 3 Cups of Coffee, Ms. Lloyd met Kristi Heidkamp, 26, a BNY Mellon employee who had volunteered to be a mentor for the program that connects professional females with women seeking to launch or reshape their careers. Ms. Heidkamp, who works in wealth management recruiting for BNY Mellon, reviewed Ms. Lloyd’s resume, gave her tips on tailoring cover letters for different positions, and urged her to broaden her search by rethinking her talents and applying for positions that might not call for her specific skill set. The pair kept in touch by email in between coffee meetings and in November, Ms. Lloyd interviewed for a position in check services at BNY Mellon. She landed the job and started work Dec. 1."
