Best networking tips for non-target

For background, I’m a freshman at a non-target with experience at an accounting firm, search fund, schools investment fund, and I’m working at a LMM with real experience on 3 deals. Going into the summer I plan on ramping up the networking, but my connections are sub par…. What is the best method you all have found?

what helped me -
- attach resume on email (make sure it’s clean) - say something like “here’s my resume for your reference”

- recent deal their group has done and if u can’t find his group, something unique about their company

- show that u want to learn

keep it short
