How persistent should I be?

I am a senior in college, and had the chance to intern on a buy side equity trading desk last summer. Through that internship I met many people whom I have had informational interviews with (mainly guys on sell side desks). I have given them my resume, sent a follow up thank you email etc. etc. My question is: how persistent should I be in terms of contacting them (ie. emailing) and reiterating the fact that I want them to consider me for any job openings? Does anyone have suggestions in the way I should word my emails in a way that is suggestive but not totally blunt? Thank you.
