I have a friend whose brother is a financial advisor for ML. I asked my friend if he could ask his brother put in a word or recommendation for me in finding any type of work (intern, assistant) at ML.
However he said that his brother probably couldn't do that since ML doesn't work that way and the most he could do is tell me about any open positions.
This is in contrast to what I've always been hearing on job hunting advice. I've always been told to make contacts so that they could give your application a boost. Now that I've finally found a contact inside ML, my friend tells me that it is pretty much worthless.
So is my friend wrong here? Should I ask for his brother's phone number directly? How are you suppose to close in on the job once you've found someone in your network.
