Expanding Network

Just started full time work in Valuation Consulting a few months ago and am looking to jump into FO Finance within a year or so. I’m looking to build a network in the interim and was curious on a couple of things...

1) When cold emailing should I use my gmail or current work address?/ Should I send to their work or personal email?

2) Attach resume on initial connect?

3) Best method of finding the right contacts?

Appreciate the advice in advance.

~Cheers
