Isnt that the point of LinkedIn
No, people do it all the time.
Not at all! You gotta network to get work. PERIOD.
Don’t reach out and ask for a job outright. Just ask to connect and state that you’d like to learn more about their career path and company. It’s that simple
Not even a little bit, you’ll just need to be creative/interesting enough in the introduction
I would not say it’s not weird if you strongly want to do it. Some are more open than others. I never respond unless there’s some other hook (e.g., school alum or some shared purpose, or you have an equally compelling profile). I would prefer at least a referral than a random note since we are all busy people and some level of screening is helpful.
Nope talked with about 4 partners across firms when I was trying to break into consulting
I talked to like 3 and none of them turned into anything 🙃🙃🙃
That’s literally the point of LinkedIn
Not the ideal scenario but you have nothing to lose if you're respectful of their time.
