I’m 6 months away from graduating with a BS in Computer Science majoring in business management and web design. My career goal is to become a freelance web designer, but I know I have a lot of work to get there. I am currently working in the Dental field, and am experiencing a hard time even landing an interview for an IT position. I also am having a hard time networking with people within my entering field of IT. I have joined social communities like LinkedIn and TechRepublic, but am really unsure of how to acquire reliable contacts. Can anyone give me advice on the steps to being a freelancer and how to properly obtain networking contacts?
