![]() You will have to accept rejection if you want to grow your network. Go ahead and send cold requests. A lot of people will reject you, but some will be open to talking to you. I send out cold requests all the time, and I still get rejected every now and then.

![]() I would generally suggest staying focused and getting your letters. Once that's done, the other stuff will be far more enjoyable w/o having the "need to go back" lurking over your head.
