Remember, this person will not have a job opportunity to fill, but you shouldn't be surprised if the outcome shifts. The request for a coffee meeting is a simple request on LinkedIn: "I'm a recent graduate of The University of Pittsburgh and I'm looking for some career advice and would love to hear more about what drives you to succeed. May I buy you a cup of coffee sometime soon?"
