Are all VP's created equal?

During the Fourth of July, I was at a country club with my family to watch fireworks. My father introduced me to a group of men and we shook hands, introducing ourselves. I left the group and was later told, that one of the men is a VP at Morgan Stanley. I asked my dad, which division he was in but he didn't know. If I become friendlier with this VP, when it comes time to submitting my resume, does it matter whether he is a VP of say Wealth Management, or is the VP title itself enough pull in the firm to have my resume looked at for IBD?

I understand I am still young, but would appreciate any insight. Thank you.
