so i set up my first meeting.. industry, someone, friend, asking

edgeon

In an application i'm completing it says 'do you know anyone that works here?', now i don't but i have an friend who lives with someone who does (sounds more tenuous than it is) he gave me her email and suggested I ask to meet her to enable me to put her name down. So I have emailed her asking if i can buy her a coffee and ask her some questions about the firm etc and she said she would be happy to meet me.

I have just graduated and never worked in the industry so this is my first attempt at networking, so i just thought i would see if anyone had any tips for me on how to get the most out of this meeting?

I figured i want to ask about her experience at the firm, any advice she might have for me about the selection process and how to succeed within the firm should i get a place.

Am i missing the point of these meetings or does this sound about right?

ie. should i be looking to establish a good connection first and foremost?
