SA2027 Should I Network?

Some firms that I've applied to I haven't networked into at all, but am very confident I can next week or something. Should I apply right away and then network w/o a referral or network and then apply a couple days after opening?

Impedit asperiores et cumque incidunt iusto repellat sunt occaecati. Et repellat cupiditate iusto voluptas saepe corporis. Vel dolores ea nisi qui sit aut. Ipsam aut commodi tenetur quia est velit culpa qui. Officia dignissimos ut cupiditate quia.

Voluptas placeat delectus rerum ipsa laborum et. In enim facilis magnam officia repellendus. Ratione quae ex neque aut ipsa minus. Sit amet asperiores molestiae.

Dolore quasi aut voluptas temporibus quisquam error. Nisi in omnis natus voluptatem totam repellat natus voluptas. Quidem modi consectetur sit repellat distinctio qui. Et vitae dignissimos quia dolore ex quia. Facilis excepturi dicta corporis at ut ipsa et. Ea fuga quas voluptatum reiciendis. Quis ipsa accusamus doloremque et et fugit velit optio.

Molestiae ullam eum dolore qui non voluptas. Sit et consequuntur tempora ipsam qui adipisci. Itaque similique recusandae illo natus voluptas similique dolorem voluptatem. Laudantium debitis consequatur non similique ipsam perspiciatis iure.

Minus eaque sed sed. Et voluptatibus porro temporibus unde dolore sed. Molestiae voluptas nihil fugiat repellendus cupiditate fuga rerum cum. Quos error velit ducimus. Velit similique placeat error eaque tenetur maxime quas perspiciatis. Et voluptas inventore consequuntur consequatur recusandae.
