Got a response from cold email... now what?

So I've been sending out emails to the corporate finance/Valuation group of a big 4 that I work for, and one of the manager has agreed to grab a cup of coffee with me the next couple days.

Anything I should look out for? Not being too aggressive while expressing an interest in a position?

Advices are greatly appreciated

Ask him about everyone's favorite subject- themselves. How he got into the business, his path, etc. Transition the convo into the hiring process, see where you may be able to get help/support.

 

D - all of the above, way to go man. You want to start building relationships, and everything else will follow. Put yourself in this person's shoes and imagine what YOU would be looking for.....
