Purpose is to gain information into the person, their firm, their path to their firm. Depending on the timing and relationship you could ask for a resume push, but if you start early enough you can benefit more from asking them to connect you with others and keeping in touch with them. Once you build a rapport and it gets close to recruiting season, then you can reach out for the referral. Just my $0.02.

 

spot on right here. I usually end them around 30mins depending on how the conversation is going. I'll send a follow up email with them asking for any contacts that might be helpful and thanking them for their time.

Go all the way
