I've had a very tough time finding my first position as a junior dev and have been looking into getting a paid mentor to help me out. Someone who can give me a specific, clear idea of what skills I might need to have, refine, etc, as well as some looser guidance and direction after losing my confidence.

Do any of you have experience with services like this? Somewhere like Mentor Cruise or something similar?

I'm a bit confused. If you're a Junior dev, don't you have mentors in your team, in your company? They will know the projects and environments of what is needed in that environment.

"give me a specific, clear idea of what skills I might need to have" depends very much on context and goals.

They aren't a junior dev yet. They're looking for a job as a junior dev and have been unsuccessful at finding a job as a junior dev.
