I'm a recent grad from one of the top Finance schools in Canada and an aspiring I-banker. I haven't landed any offers yet, but have been fortunate enough to get a meeting with an Alumni from my school who is an Associate at a Canadian BB. Any advice on this type of meeting? I planned on just being relaxed and selling myself as best I can, hoping that I'll get a shot. Any advice?

Also, is it ever okay to ask to bring along a similarly qualified/interested friend to this kind of meeting?
doh. obviously not. you get more info one on one (more intimate), why would you want to share (would you be ok if your buddy ends up getting a job through this contact and not you?), and you are sort of pushing it... wait till you make it "in" before trying to help your friends.
On the other hand, nothing against sharing notes after the meeting with your buddies
did you school set you up with this contact from the alumni? Or did you go search him/her out yourself?
I got the contact from the school, but I set the meeting up myself. What do you think I can expect to come from this?
Hopefully try to get your resume submitted directly to someone. It's a dawg eat dawg world.
