I have a really really good relationship with a vp at a bb. The vp has helped me so much with with my application and prepared me so much for the interview. The vp has not clearly said they will help me get an interview and I was wondering how can push them into referring me to hr for an interview? Any tips or steps I should take?

How about you just ask?
I did ask how to best position myself for an interview and he said this is it. I would prefer it if he could set it in stone.
No I meant ask him outright for the referral. Make it clear - how hard is this to do?
Are you serious? What just say "I would be so grateful if you could refer me for an interview"? That cant be right.
