Just realized that LinkedIn premium trial wasn't a total scam
I was skeptical for months but after a 30 day free trial I actually got 3 real meeting requests from people in Houston energy sector. Has anyone else found the InMail feature opened doors you weren't expecting?
wait hold on, you got actual meetings out of it? i let my premium lapse after a week because i figured it was just a way for recruiters to spam you. maybe i should give it another shot if people in houston are actually using it. i kinda assumed everyone just ignored those InMails like they do cold emails.
Got a coffee invite from a hiring manager at Shell like 3 days after I upgraded, @blake_kelly19. Honestly though I think it's just luck of the draw, some weeks I get nothing but spam and then suddenly a real human pops up.
Yeah actually the InMails get read a lot more than cold emails because they go to a separate folder people check. It's less about luck and more about who you message and when.
