Have you reached out beyond people that you know or have met before? I would try sending out an intro email explaining that you’d like to set up 15 minutes to chat/get to know them (especially if they do work that you’re interested in) and that you’re looking for project opportunities. Send a follow up if necessary as my experience is that a lot of more senior folks get a million emails a day and can’t always get to everything. You can always just put time directly on their calendar, but I’ve found people respond better if you check with them first since sometimes people are “available” but actually swamped.

Thank you! This is very helpful advice 😊 I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.
