Hello,

I would just show that I am interested in their company and that you are seriously motivated. After presenting yourself and telling your story, it's completely fine to ask if there could be a possibility to apply.

Good luck,
Luca

Hello there,

The approach should be similar for every partner as each can make strong recommendation if they find your profile fits.
As such, the key thing to discuss is as follows:

• Your profile (experiences, expertise in specific industries and functions)
• The practices within the firm that suit your profile
• What specific things that you might be able to contribute to these practices
• How the team works, differrent culture compared to your industry, how one can adapt facing the changing culture, etc.
• It would be great to also pose specific questions to the partners based on their personal experience / profiles (especially if they had made similar shift before)

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,
Nathan

Dear A,

It's great that you have a chance to talk with partner.

Well, in general, you need to be lightly person on order to do so you need to google the most relevant information about your partner with whom you are going to talk about his background, his competence and focus, past projects. Maybe, you can even find any publications where he was an author. Through this, try to ask him the questions and find similarities with yourself: maybe you cam from the same school, town, or interested in the same topics. This will help you to establish both profesional and personal link.

Listen more than you speak, be an active listener. Partners normally like those person who are smart and listen to them. So make the partner feel great during this conversation. And I'm pretty sure that afterwards he will be eager to help you to get into the firm, which is your ultimate objective.

Hope it helps you,

If you need further tips, just drop me a message,

Good luck,

André

Hey there,
I would say your approach of networking would be the same regardless the partner is in charge of recruiting or not.
Even with non-recruiting partner, to get a referral you still need to showcase your potential value add to the company.

Instead of partners, I would focus on associates and managers.

Hi,

You should:

• Tell them about your background (sell yourself)
• Ask if that's what they are looking for
• Ask for advice on the next steps
