Use a spreadsheet to list the names of each of them will be willing to offer at least two names of people it would be useful to contact.
Generate a list of 50 100 names can be useful but the "quality" of these names is essential so be careful to be selective about their choice. For example: -
Both the dentist and the owner of his favorite pub experience a wide range of people and everyone should be able to provide the names of two people who would be interested in helping.
Ask people to 'information' rather than asking who could give him a job makes them less defensive and more willing to help.
The key to these first contacts is to ask two useful names. None of them may be potential employers, but when communicating with these new names, and these can lead to people who can help in your job search, including potential employers. To call or email people who are potential employers to ensure: -
Explain your situation, that is. Developing your career
