I recently met someone new who is in my field. We have the same degree, have similiar interests and we are both looking for new positions. We are not looking for the same thing (meaning we wouldn't be competing for the same jobs). Anyway, we exchanged personal emails and he said he had some jobs he thought I might be interested in and I had some to send to him. Seems like a really nice person and seemed to be happy to make a contact.

Here's my question: I think it would be great to share my resume with him. I really haven't had anyone look at it who is in the field and I''d love some feedback. Do you think it's appropriate to ask? If so, how can I ask nicely but give an out in case he really doesn't want to help. What do you think???

TY! :)
