Linkedin UPGRADE

It means you don't use one of your in-mails if they don't respond.

There aren't a whole lot of perks to the LinkedIn upgrades. They are great for recruiters but not quite as helpful for job-seekers.

Thanks IP

I recently signed up for the $25/mo... not sure it really offers anything... what I'd like to see is a way (and it may be that I just do not know how to do this) is a way to see all the connections to a 3rd... e.g. right now I can see that my 1st connection (Jane) connects me to a 3rd (John) through "John's Connections" but I can't see that person...

LinkedIn's pricing does not cater to an entry level job seeker. You've got other, much stronger avenues to job opportunities. Exhaust those before you start paying for LinkedIn.

Yeah I figured it wasn't worth it. Just wanted to see what you guys thought.

Thanks.

I actually upgraded to executive for 1 month (99$) - it gave me access to 25 InMails. This was an easy way to gain contacts to alumni from 25 different groups, and after talking to them you get bounced around and referred even more. Although it is expensive, it is all worth it if it potentially leads to a full time offer. In addition, more people are exposed on the search bar if you have a premium account vs. basic.
