Not so Great Alumni
I'm currently a senior at Rutgers and graduating in December. My goal is to try to break into the Commercial Real Estate industry in NYC and hopefully land an analyst position when I graduate. I've been trying to network but the problem is a lot of my alumni aren't in the CRE business. There's only a limited number of people and the ones I could find mostly work in NJ (ex Parsippany, Morristown, East Rutherford, etc). I'm still reaching out to as many as I can but I really want to be in New York its been a dream of mine since I was little. Should I just cold email the MDs and VPs of the New York offices?

P.S. I tried to find more alumni on LinkedIn by searching ex JLL Rutgers but LinkedIn only allows you to view a certain amount of profiles a month unless you're a premium member. Is there a better way I can try to find more Alumni from my school?
