2 Questions:
1) Do you randomly email recruiters on LinkedIn?
2) Does anyone have LinkedIn Premium? Has it truly been helpful?

I use LinkedIn premium - it’s been pretty good. Being able to reach out directly to recruiters is a great multiplier since you can get exposure to more roles.

1. I’ve never had a good response reaching out to a recruiter. Inbound results in better conversation.
2. Don’t think it has added much other than a few little features - like lookup a person without sharing your identity

I just cancelled the Premium trial, but I do think it was helpful. I definitely think it boosted my resume.....I have a lot of interest/interviews. At least do the trial.

I am doing it now, I have 3 interviews today. It’s helpful to see how you stack up against those applying.

I am not authorized to negotiate so they will have to take it up with HR, but I am still just shocked at the reaction. Please tell me if I’m totally out of touch!
