Is this an Interview or just Coffee with a Top Tier Fund?
I guess I had too much time on my hands, but the other day I wrote an email to a top tier fund to see if I can get a chance to have coffee with the fund's manager ( actually a few). I don't know if the stars were aligned, something in my email (story) struck a cord, or if it was dumb luck,but I managed to land a chance to meet with the fund's manager. So in the back and forth between the fund they asked me for my CV and Bio. And since this wasn't an attempt to get a job I was a bit caught off guard. After explaining I just wanted a chance to talk and wasn't expecting anything they urged for the CV and Bio again, but to be brought with me when I meet the manager. This was after I provided my CV and a Bio to the person ( I guess) was vetting me or arranging this already. So is this an interview or just what I asked for? I mean I will plan for worse case and all, but any opinions on this would help. And since it is at a coffee shop, what do I wear? Is there anything else anyone would recommend for prep work? The Fund's investing style would be a perfect fit for me and it would be a huge chance even if I took a pay cut/ move/etc. Thanks
Reading this , I can't help but remark that you picked the perfect username
I have to say so as well.. I picked it originally when I asked for some advice as well awhile back and never bothered to change it.
But to be more useful , give the people your CV (Im guessing you've done that) and start preparing hard. You've been given an unexpected opportunity , take your best swing at it
What are you currently working in?
Every meeting is an interview...always.
Every minute of your life is an interview - this one is just very clear...treat it like a conversation be open ask questions but treat it like an interview in terms of demeanor and being prepared....learn the fund...the managers history - ppl love talking about themselves and meeting new people so be interesting
Does it matter? You should prepare the same way.
Suit and tie
Unofficial interview. But yeah, treat it as if it was.
Even if you prep for it like an interview and it turns out not to be one, you'll still be that much better off for the next "real" interview you get.
