I am meeting at lunch with an attorney I worked against in a negotiation who has his own ''firm'' type thing that specializes in contract negotiation and drafting. I am hoping to be able to start working with him on the side of my regular job so that I can have some more exposure to different types of contracts and negotiations, as well as some extra $$ since my company has announced shutdowns. SO I am a little nervous about that. I REALLY want this to happen.
SO what do I do?
Small talk, then at the first opening just explain to him what I''m looking for (leaving out the extra $$ thing) and focusing on the fact that I want this as a resume builder, and for the experience it will give me? Also mention any possible conflict concerns and see what his opinion is?
Or just talk normally, and mention this in passing just as lunch is coming to a close? And follow up later?
I want to appear confident and like I know how to network. But umm... I don''t really know how to network.
HELP!
