Phone Call with MF investment Director (Alumni)

Hey Guys,

after my writing my first "networking email" I already got a respone 1 hour later to schedule a date with the secretary of an investment director working for a Mega Fund (managing $5 billion), I´m currently a 1st year student. However, I know that they accept students after their 2nd year for interns. How should I approach this talk? It´s my first networking call, and its already with an important person.

I really need your help! What should I ask him, how will the conversation be like?
