Speaking with a friend of mine, I realized I had a not-too-distant connection to an Ibanking associate at one of the top firms (working in the FIG). I called him up immediately and set up a lunch.

I want to take full advantage of this "meeting." What questions should I ask and how should I approach trying to get this person to send my resume off to the appropriate people? Thanks.
