answer:I am guessing he won’t do it because then he is responsible for the rest of your career if you do anything slightly critical. He may not have any jobs for you. And, he may be waiting to be asked, rather than volunteering. He may want to see you take the initiative. And, he may want you to get experience elsewhere, on someone else’s dime. So stop thinking he owes you help. You can ask him if you can use him as a reference when you apply to the firm he is with. See how he responds to that.
