How to take it forward
I wrote to an SVP at a BB to request for a meeting to discuss how to strategize for job search (in general, not specific to their bank); she has written back to me:
"Hi --, I work in HR, so it would probably be best for you if you network with someone in the business. I wish you the best of luck in your job search. "
I am not sure about how to proceed. Should I just thank her for replying and move on. Or ask her about the hiring process, will they there be any off-cycle hiring etc?
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
I would thank her and ask about their current hiring needs, etc...you need to really press her though so you get a definitive response before spending any more time with this opportunity.
Like pchung said...thank her and inquire about current hiring needs, and also ask her if she can recommend anyone to speak to.
Thanks, pching and Alpha!
So I replied to the SVP and she has put me in touch with another recruiter who is responsible for campus hiring. I have a phone conversation set up for tomorrow morning.
Should I just inquire about their hiring needs in near future..? However I would like to make this conversation a little more memorable (in a good way). Any thoughts?
Anyone?
ask for an informational?
Pardon me if this sounds silly, Cornelius. Can you elaborate pls? You mean ask for a in-person meeting with her when I speak to her tmrw?
She's in HR she would have done anything (the extent of which is bringing you in for an interview for an already open position). You need to thank her and ask if she can refer you to anyone on the business side, try to be specific (IBD, S&T, etc...).
