The networks you have built with the people you met are your bigger lever. You do not need to look any further: concentrate in taking the most out of those newly built relationships.
Do not under estimate the potential those targeted persons have in taking you further.
You should investigate in how you could take advantage of this great asset.
1- Look in their networks
Some people still have open networks. At least, you have access to the shared contacts. You can then sharpen your network mapping and have a comprehensive overview of who is connected to whom.
If by chance, your now 1st degree connection has an open network it is a great opportunity to identify the next people to have a coffee with!
In fact, chances are (and pretty high^^ in fact) that person has counterparts in other companies. You could have an easy referral for an informal interview. Better than turning back to cold calling, isn't it?
2- Join groups
We all start with searching relevant groups on LinkedIn. But I discovered that surprisingly not all of them appear in the results.
Moreover, if you are concentrating on a specific market (for example, I only concentrate in the Talent Acquisiton local market in Sydney). Niche groups are only accessible through your connection's groups.

In the next post I will demonstrate the rest of the next step I am taking with my job search.
