Ask questions and ask about their experiences. People love talking about themselves.
Absolutely don't bring anything to write on. You don't want him to think you're a drone. Especially in M&A where it's all about networking and working with people. He wants to make sure you can hold a conversation
...or do 😜
Don't bring it with you. It's too forward. Follow up with a thank you email, attach your resume, and say something along the lines of "i've attached my resume for your convenience."
Order food that doesn't impede your ability to talk - nothing slurpy or juicy. Steak is good b/c you can cut into bites and go slow. Ice breaker chit chat before the waiter takes your order. Business chat after menus are gone. Flexible to talk business or chit chat after the food comes. Ask them about their experience, what's kept them at their firm.
Kick a$$ and get the F out!!
