In my experience, build your network in everyday places even if they seem completely disconnected to your industry. Plant roots in your community. I got my opportunity from serving on a board of trustees at a local nonprofit. Even if it doesn't lead to a job, it'll increase the good relationships in your life which is always a win.
Quality over quantity. Build a few genuine relationships with people whose work or career paths truly align with your goals, rather than trying to connect with everyone. Meaningful connections are far more likely to turn into real opportunities than dozens of surface-level interactions.
Do you have any contacts from school or past jobs that would really stick up for you?
