How can I convince a former MD that networking can in fact work?
I got lunch today with an alum (non target) former MD from the late 90s/early 00 from a top BB (think GS/MS/JPM) who still knows some people who work at the company. Had a very good conversation and think she likes me a lot and wants to help me.
Problem is, she doesn't know much about the application/recruiting process. She didn't even know they hire interns out of undergrad! (she originally lateraled from a top law firm) I asked her if she can talk to those people who she knows and maybe they can give me advice but she said they'd be useless b/c they'll just forward my resume to HR (EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD WANT).
Anyways we spoke for over 1.5 hrs and we both had to end conversations and go back to work (I work in a BB doing a BO internship).
What's the best way of going about convincing her to reach out to people she knows to connect them to me? Leading to an interview?
