Sharing this in case it helps any students or junior creatives trying to network on LinkedIn and struggling to get replies. If you’re going to send a request to someone you don’t know, consider these two I just got:

Student 1: No message (despite paying for LinkedIn premium), leads title with her being a student, that’s it.

Student 2: Details her industry focus/expertise in her title, includes thoughtful message stating her intent, portfolio, and kind note.

A little effort can go a long way!

I’ll note too that sometimes even with effort, you still get ghosted, but.. definitely doesn’t hurt 🙃
