A super tool for networking is the informational interview: Science on Informational Interviews
I saw a terrific seminar by Tory Johnson, CEO of WomenforHire.com. She emphasized getting out there, not just on the internet but virtually as well. Her website is chock full of great tips for everyone – not just women.
Harvard has an amazing Office of Career Services (big surprise there, eh??) and with it, a website jammed with solid information that is well-presented. I am especially fond of materials that can be found under non-academic careers for graduate students - this section has some very helpful information on networking, resume preparation and interviewing.
I hope these help! Good luck!
