2019 SA Recruiting- How should I end an informational interview?

Hi everyone, I've been a long-time lurker on this site but I need some advice. I go to a very strong semi-target with a 3.6 and a relevant internship. I've been networking as usual and have some contacts at BBs and EBs. However, many banks are almost DONE recruiting for 2019 SA positions (pretty stupid but that's a completely different discussion). When reaching out to ppl at these banks using a rolling application process, should I end my informational interview by asking a question that hints at him passing my resume along to HR? Don't know if a 15min call is enough for them to do that. Keep in mind I'll still be asking for contacts as well to grow my network at the firm.

 
DickFuld:
“That sounds amazing. Is there anyone else you think I should speak with at your firm?”

“What you’re saying resonates with me and is something I’d like to pursue. What next steps do you suggest I take?”

“I’m filling out application(resume dropping) at your firm, would you be against me putting you down as a reference?”

“I appreciate your insight. What would you do if you were me to move through the interview process at your firm?”

The specifics don’t really matter. Just ask something to keep the ball rolling.

Sound advice from DickFuld, hope this helps
