getting a job. (following up, staying in touch, schmoozing)

As a freelance designer you should always stay in touch with previous clients you have worked with for the possibility of more work in the future. Try and build a relationship by giving the client a ring or sending an e-mail every few months, this will keep you in their minds and if they enjoyed the experience with working with you before they will most probably opt to use you again if they needed any more work completed.
There are a range of benefits with keeping not only in contact with not clients but with your fellow class members/students also, especially those that specialize in things that you do not. This will help in the future so you have the option to pass work on that you are not comfortable or confident you will achieve to the clients expectations. This way you will not have to say 'No' to a client and possibly keep a relationship there for the reason that they may want some design work done in the future that you are confident with creating.
