Should I be paying to upgrade LinkedIn? Just how critical is that profile for me as I search for employment?

I’m currently using the free trial. I must say that although it does show who looked at my profile, that has not yielded anything positive. Another perceived benefit (for me, anyway) was the match tool. Honestly, I can get the same result by copy/pasting into CoPilot, I have not gotten a single hit in the 3 weeks of the free trial period. I won’t be paying for the “premium” when my free trial has ended.

I did the free trial, it made no difference for me. If you're curious, do the same, and you can see what it does for you. As far as the AI adjustments, I could easily plug everything into chat GPT and just paste it into LinkedIn.

Excellent question! Been wondering this very same thing…

Depends on your preference if you want to be more visible than others, but it doesn't mean clients or employers are more likely to connect with you. Even if your heading and skills are impressive, you still need to showcase yourself out there. The badge gives it a good introduction and legitimacy, though. I would try the free trial either way, I mean, it's free :D

I chose an upgrade so I could access the Learning. It's less expensive than say UDemy or Coursera. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done the upgrade.

I don’t think you’re missing out on too much by not paying for that upgrade. I haven’t checked on the price lately but the last time I did it was crazy expensive for what they offer.

Yeah, it feels like LinkedIn‘s time has definitely passed. I’m just not sure it’s vital to our success as professionals anymore.

Request a free trial if you haven't done so in a while.
