The book called "Mom Test" by Rob Fitzpatrick has a section on this. He likes to organize Meetups targeting the types of people you want to meet. But maybe those people don't have time. So also he says there's almost certainly there's a chance you know someone, who knows someone etc. So know what you want to ask, and just put it out into the world on your network e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook etc. "I interested in finding out about x, does anyone know someone in Y/someone who works at Z" etc.

What is your actual background;
- did you study - how much coding experience do you have - which languages - what types of jobs are you applying for - do you have a smartphone (is there not something like https://postmates.com/ in Netherlands) - do you have friends or family who have jobs in businesses (or their own businesses) - Etc
Re:Ask HN: How do I learn Django?

I've got a couple of students online and the one pattern I've found is, have a project in mind you'd like to build. It keeps that inspiration for longer vs. just going through tutorials and pushes you a bit more to learn specific things, "Okay, how do I process a CSV file now". You SHOULD still go through a good tutorial or two to get overview of different concepts and components in the frameworks (the tutorials others have mentioned are solid).
One problem with learning while building (or learning by yourself in general) is bad practices. "Two Scoops of Django" is still a good one, though a bit old, but again it will teach some overarching concepts and approaches. And then getting feedback from others!

There is also a great podcast called Django Chat (https://djangochat.com/).
If I remember, they mentioned the book or spoke about the writer quite recently and said a lot of the principles still apply.
I've found they still greatly helped my projects.
Things quite might change as async becomes a bit more popular with the framework
