how about picking your favourite company, linked in search the HR manager, email/call them out for a 20min coffee meeting. Outline your desires on the email and what you hope to get (should be insights first, then maybe if they are hiring a job). You got nothing to lose.
For me, the best feedback I got was from the HR manager that didn't hire me.

Yeah, there are several recruiting agencies that deal in the engineering side of things. I've gone through some and even visited Aerotek during their career fair.
I recently started trying to network. Maybe a bit over a month ago. One of the reasons why I started volunteering with APEGBC was to network with other engineers. There's also a monthly luncheon that the canadian institute of mining has downtown, but it's pretty pricey at $60 bucks just for lunch. I will probably try to go to the next one and see if I can still get the student discount.
I will try contacting people personally though since I haven't been doing that.
