How to network properly?

So Im gonna be a junior next year applying for SA from a target. I'm wondering aside from applying through the normal channels(online app & career office), how much should I network?

My brother is offering me the chance to speak with his many friends that works in the field, but most are at the analyst level with 1-2 years working experience. If I were to talk to these people, how should i approach this as a networking oppurtunity, or actually, will they be able to help me get interviews (if they deem me appropriate from the convos) even they are analyst? Will this coincide with my application from the normal channels though??

I kind of did a search on the forum, but couldn't find an answer to this (since most were networking with alums at higher levels)... thanks for any advice

Resume questions

I was just wondering what you guys think of the different type of resume formats there are and if there is a "better" format (or it doesnt matter at all). My bschool uses the format in which the EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE etc headings go into a left column, along with the dates beneath them, while the description and name of position etc goes on the right. (i guess you guys know what its like) But I've also seen a lot of the format that people use which are the ones where you have a line below the heading with no column separations. What do you guys think? Also, I was wondering if it would be better to separate off the EXPERIENCE heading into WORK EXPERIENCE, LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE, RELATED EXPERIENCE, or just leave it as one? Also, i've heard some conflicted opinions on the use of Times New Roman, some says yes, some says no... what about this?

and one more question, is working for 15hrs a week as a computer consultant at the uni's computer lab worth mentioning on the resume?
