I literally don't have one. Have close to 350 connections, but none of them have come to help in a miraculous way. Sad...

Tbh you gotta pump those numbers up. Send connection requests to people in target companies. Post about ZS available opportunities. This will bring a lot of traffic on your profile. Then offer to review resume because you saw so many and you found some common error that everyone is doing. Be active so that your connections from target companies would subconsciously start to get familiarised with you. And then when you'll ask for referral, they won't deny.

My first job in Amazon was due to a LinkedIn post. It shaped my career and thanks to that, I've worked for Google and now back to Amazon again.

I was just posting stuff that's related to my industry and career. Day by day, connections come in and after a year, the connections really did pay off! I got a new mentor who has been instrumental in my professional development.
