Networking guides

Does anyone have tips or links to good guides on networking for IB? Current undergrad freshman looking for a comprehensive tutorial of some sort. Who to contact, how to contact them, what to say, etc. I’ve seen a lot of random advice on this forum and would love some direct clarity. Appreciate it, thanks guys.

Mergers & Inquisitions has some good ones. Here's a brief article from them, and one more in-depth.

As a brief rule of thumb, I would start networking internally on campus with fellow students who are incoming SA or returning full time. They will be able to give you the most applicable advice for what you need right now as a freshman.
