Casual meeting with BB analyst?

Hello everyone, I'm a freshman and I got an email asking if anyone in a club I'm in was interested in a few opportunities at his bank. The emailer was an alumnus from my school and I emailed him back about the application, and he said we can connect one of these days. I emailed him back a list of times I'm free and he said let's talk about why he went into sales and trading and his bank in general.

My question is, is this a casual Skype chat or should I dress and act as if this was an interview? There is an application for the position I'm looking at I still need to fill out, and he originally said to email him if we were interested, but then he said to email him again if I was interested in anything else about his bank or S&T in general, which led to this upcoming meeting. I'm entirely sure where this was going. What can I expect from this?

Thanks in advance everyone.

 

Are you going to meet him in person as an informational/networking opp or are you actually applying for a position? As a freshman I'm assuming you're a few weeks into college so there probably aren't a ton of actual positions open to you so it's probably a good chance to talk to a guy and start networking. If you meet him throw the monkey suit on. If not, talk to him on the phone. The last thing I want to do as an employer is Skype.

 

Well considering my university isn't close to NY, I just assumed it was going to be Skype. If it was over the phone, that would help a lot. I was just wondering how formal I should treat the thing, to be honest.

And yeah, you're right. I should've been clearer: it's not for an actual position. His email and corresponding application was just for a 2 day S&T program at the BB specifically for freshmen. I am planning on filling out the application very shortly though.

Thanks for the advice though.
