Networking is best done via mixers and organizations.
Are there any organizations that are within the industry you want to participate in? Example, if you'd like to break into the cable TV industry there is a group called NAMIC, North American Minorities In Cable. They meet monthly and those that are outgoing and networking seem to walk off with lots of business cards and contacts. Once you have those, you follow up with phone calls, emails etc. Let them know you are looking for work and specifically what you want to do and what skills you have.
Keep in contact with these people, try to have lunch with them, make them your friends.
