Based on the most helpful WSO content, networking for contacts at Ares can be approached strategically. Here are some tips:

  1. LinkedIn Networking: Search for professionals currently working at Ares Management or its subsidiaries. Send personalized connection requests, mentioning your interest in their work or the specific article/project you referenced.

  2. WSO Forums: Engage with the Wall Street Oasis community. Many users in the forums have experience with Ares or similar firms. Post a thread or reply to existing discussions about Ares to build connections.

  3. Alumni Networks: If you're part of a university or business school alumni network, check for alumni working at Ares. Alumni are often more receptive to outreach.

  4. Recruiters and Headhunters: Ares has a structured recruitment process, and many positions are filled through headhunters. Building relationships with recruiters specializing in private equity or credit can be beneficial.

  5. Industry Events: Attend finance or private equity networking events where Ares professionals might be present. These events are great for making direct connections.

If you're looking for more insights or strategies, feel free to explore WSO's networking guides or forums for additional advice!
