How do you use linkedin effectively?

i’ve been sending 3-4 line connection attempts based on their profile but have not had luck

is there a playbook to market onesself?




I loved this advice enough to save it. Might have value, check it out. Network like your life depends on it and have no shame in flexing your network. Talk to as many folks as you can.

Does a linked in premium membership if some kind help with that?


I tried premium when I really needed a job. As far as I can see it gave you access to a community of people who spent far too much time posting about getting a job and not enough time actually trying to get one. I found a job outside of linked in, as usual, and cancelled premium.

Maybe others have a more positive experience.
