Capital Markets Networking Help

I am a new grad and through my networking was invited to go out for a drink with a couple people in the industry. I know their firm is looking for an intern. I have never done this before and I have no idea what to expect out of this, how to make the most out of it, or even prepare for it.

Any advice or insights is appreciated.

TrumpNChase, you really should spend some time searching WSO. This has probably been asked and answered several hundred times.

I briefly touch on this in my networking overview. I would wear business casual and a sport coat. Since this is for drinks, do not bring a notebook, your resume, or anything else. Be personable and have a conversation with them.
