I was thinking about making this it's own thread, will if I don't get responses;

I have a mentor and he's in oil and gas, he is the sole operator of a consulting company and a partner in another large company that he also runs. He is going through a very stressful time right now, the government and another company he was working with are having money disputes (ie. one of them won't pay up).

Basically, being his assistant/someone he trains would be an invaluable experience for me. I am leaving University as an undergrad in 3 months and I desperately want a job with him, the market is horrible and hardly any of my classmates have jobs lined up. So I need advice on how to get him to hire me. I have some business experience and want any advice on how to persuade him to hire me, how to act, how to ask, what to say. I will tell him to use me to help him make himself more money, that way it seems more of a good idea, but I need advice just to increase my odds.
