Step 2.  Develop a list of 20 contacts that will be directly related to the above mentioned items to help you start your job search.  You should try to get as much information as possible (i.e. name, address, phone, web, occupation, employer, and how they relate to your job search).  If you feel unsure of supplying phone numbers to a public forum like this website, then in the copy you post to the discussion board you may omit this info, but you need it for your use in networking for a job.  Don't forget that these contacts can come from sources such as former employers, academic peers currently employed, former professors, relatives in a similar industry, or other new ones you created by happenstance.  You should list an area on your contact area of the dates you spoke with them, potential leads, and results as well (this is for future use and I don't expect you to have info this quickly).  Use individuals from your academic sources, internships, previous jobs, family friends, acquaintances, professional organizations, etc. to develop this list.  I suggests using Excel as it makes a nice way to organize your info and allows you to later sort and search very easily for items.
