Research the Job Market. Libraries are a treasure trove of information. After you have a grasp of key issues and trends you may want to get the perspective of people who are active in the field. Use any contacts you can find and professional associations as resources for networking and information interviewing. Do not set up an information interview and then ask your informant for a job.
People generally resent the imposition.
