I've included an "official" list of individuals in my network. This does not include friends and family who may know someone who knows someone-which is also networking, obviously, but will not be considered as such for this research. As seen here, 7 initial contacts were made and resumes submitted. From there, my resume was sent on to 4 more individuals and a unknown number of recruiters. I am not sure how to follow up with this network flow but I suppose one way would be to monitor my emails and check in with the initial 7 contacts in a week's time.
