1 on 1 meeting with a senior executive..what to ask?
 

yea the replies are just useless, just killin the thread. either you guys really do enjoy trollin beyond belief or need an education. thx tho for the 2 semi-useful replies.

don't ask obvious or cliche questions, they're annoying.

be willing to learn and take advice but don't be a meek little bitch underling. Having your own opinion and thoughts will go a long way towards making them like you

i can already tell you are way more intelligent than i am, so unfortunately i can not offer any advice.

Wear something slutty.

Ask how to sleep your way to the top like he did.

Leave the meeting with a commitment from him/her to professionally mentor you, thus relieving any burden of conversation from the meeting, as you'll then have them as a contact for future talk.

ask him when red99 is coming

Research research research. Is your company public or private. What are your profit centers? How do you make money? What are your margins? Are the typical in the industry? What eats at your margins? What are your largest expenses? Is there anything you can bring to the table to control or lower them?

My advice is to learn as much about your company's qrtly, annual, long term and short term goals. Give him ideas on how you feel about them and how to help achieve them.

This is more than likely all spelled out in your company's mission statements or somewhere.

Research and if you do not know - ask! Be passionite about it too!

Hope this helps!

Hey, we're not the ones asking an Everquest emu internet forum for professional career advice... ;)
