I am a junior working towards a summer internship and locked down a networking call with an alum from my school at one of the companys I applied to. I am aware I am going to talk about him, his experiences, how he got to where he is. My question: what are some broad questions I should be asking this senior VP to find me knowledgable and curious. Follow up, how do you approach this person in asking them to flag your application.
