How to Naviagte Family PE Connection

In short, a lifelong family friend had his company acquired by a pretty well known PE shop. The PE shop has a history of taking one or two analysts a year.

He will be making an introduction for me. Should I treat my meeting like an informational or should I be forward about my interest in working for them?

I believe I’m fairly qualified compared to analysts they have hired on.

Appreciate the help.
