Something I've done in my career is look for people on LinkedIn who have jobs that I'm interested in and live near me. I write them a message on LinkedIn, ask them to meet for a coffee date, and pay for their coffee to just ask them some questions for 20-30 minutes. Most people are happy to meet up for a short coffee date and chat about how they got to where they are, and it gives you just that many more contacts in organizations that you're interested in.
When I'm really in the zone, I have a spreadsheet of all my leads and try to update it twice a week - always asking whoever I network with to recommend another person i can speak to

I'd start on LinkedIn and search for the firms or companies you're interested in, then look for for people who work there who attended to your school. That's a fantastic in. Send them a quick message.
