Informational interview phone call with vp of acquisitions
In two days i have a phone call i set up with the vp of acquisitions at a REPE that i set up with him via messages on LinkedIn. 

What questions should i be asking as a fresh college grad looking to start my career? I’d like a job as an acquisitions analyst for reference. 

So far i have 
1. How did you get started?
2. Looking back would you do anything different?
3. Advice for recent grad?
4. What hey skills should i have?
5. Have you done any investing yourself?
6. Inquire about current opportunities at his firm

What am i missing or what should i not ask?

Thanks
