Have a list of smart questions prepared. Be yourself. Good luck.
Absolutely, and I have networked with a few individuals in more junior roles (a couple a/c’s and a C) as my “due diligence” before reaching out to partners, so I think those calls have helped drill me with regards to the depth of my questions. Thank you, will do!
1) Don’t ask questions you can google. Pisses me off when people do.
2) Send questions ahead of time if you can. That way they can prepare
3) have an elevator pitch ready. They’ll probably ask “tell me about yourself”
Definitely have emphasized the first and last point so far in my networking, but have not thought to send my questions ahead of time. Great advice, thank you! I appreciate the help.
Remember, it’s not a one way decision.
Partner will come with questions that allow you to prove your value to them/company. Hopefully Partner provided info on how they/company can provide value and opportunities for you. If not, be prepared to questions, respectfully, so they realize you are confident, thinking constructively about your career, and have options.
Good luck! Don’t forget to enjoy every minute of the college lifestyle while it last, young one.
Haha, I appreciate the advice, and have definitely been working to be sure I have perfect answers for those sorts of questions regarding my own value/ones that would allow me to prove it. Thank you!
Just be yourself. Breathe. Know when to stop talking.
- and I do not anticipate him casing me right off the bat based on all the communication I have already had with him, but I am ready for that possibility.
