Networking Tips

Hi all, 

Rising sophomore at a semi-target (Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, etc). 

For Networking for 3rd year recruiting which now happens during second sem of second year, I have to start networking around September ish but I'm still networking now for 2nd year jobs. 

I've worked on the first email template, follow up, have a baseline of questions but usually let the conversation flow. And I've heard to keep it to a mix of being a person to hangout with + showing that I can do the job/ I'm passionate about it. I feel like I'm pretty extroverted and can have a great conversation and even great second chats. How do I do the last step and how do I know the person I'm chatting will do it for me because I can't straight up ask, since that's not how things work; getting the referral/ making sure they will "push/ back" me when time comes. Liking a person enough to chat with them is one thing but liking them enough to have them on your time is another. How do I know or can make sure that I'm the latter? Any tips and thoughts from your experience from being a student or being on the other side as a current employee at a bank who chats with students helps!
Thanks in advance.
