I have a very basic question regarding networking on LinkedIn. Is it appropriate to reach out to 3rd level connections to try to get a foot in the door with companies you’re interested in? I’ve reached out to 2nd level connections with the permission of the mutual acquaintance, but so far, I’ve been too timid to just reach out cold.

I've done it before without much success (though a few people have responded, like if you have the same alma mater or if you have some kind of common touch point). I think it would probably be best to have someone introduce you virtually though.

Thanks
