Questions for VC founder?

Have a call with the founder of a VC firm, few bn AUM.

Have a few questions I’m planning on asking, but was curious to see if anyone had any advice on how to approach this. For context, I’m a college student. What questions would you recommend asking? Also, how should I bring up that I would like to work for him / whether he has any opportunities for me?
