Some small talk about baseball, the city, etc... then talk about the current projects you are working on, commisserate on the slow season and how you're looking forward to the upcoming busy season.... also mention the open spot and see if you can help...

This could also be a good time to address the personnel issues that you discussed in an earlier thread--- how you feel that your team members aren't pulling their weight, even spending time at their desks reading. It's all in how you present it in order to be seen as concerned and a problem solver, and not a whiner.

Good luck--- let us know how it goes!
I don't think it's ever a good idea to trash talk your current position, even if what you're saying is accurate. If he complains about co-workers, even if he's trying to look like he's being constructive, he'll really just look like an ass.

Baseball is good though, unless he's a Cubs fan.
