Moving From Informational to Actual Interviews

Hey all,

Long time lurker posting for the first time. So, I am a graduating senior trying to land an IS Analyst roll for some of the top teams on the west coast. I have been doing informational interviews for months now, networked my ass off, have made a bunch of contacts across the industry, and gotten in front of the main guys on teams I want to work for. I feel that most of the meetings went really well and generally think have left a great impression everywhere. However, none of these informationals or meetings have progressed into formal interviews. I am just sort of staying in contact and continuing to network.

My question is this:

Am I doing something wrong? Should I be more forward in these meetings and explicitly say "Hey successful broker, I would like to work for you. Please let me know if there would be a chance for me to interview for a position?" Not really sure if i need to "pop the question" or if that is too head on and might come off weird. I understand that these teams hire at their own pace and a lot of these senior brokers tell me "don't accept the first offer you get, make sure you take the one that's right for you" but I don't feel like I'm anywhere near an offer with any of them.

Any advice on where I should be going from here would be much appreciated.
