- Asep Haryono | LinkedIn Premium Membership Offer – Should I Take or Leave It? - Powered by Blogger
Do you have an account on LinkedIn? I'm sure many of you do, or at least you've heard of the platform. For the past two years, I’ve been registered there to find jobs that match my skills. I resigned from my job back in 2013 as a Social Media Specialist at a local newspaper company in West Kalimantan Barat. Since then, I’ve been searching for job opportunities related to my experience in the social media field.
This is a screenshot to my actual Linkedin account at the moment. Just take a look a red circle I put there, that is an offer of Linkedin Premium Membership one-month free trial which I have not decided to take or leave it
Just yesterday, while checking my email, I received a message from LinkedIn offering me a special one-month free trial of LinkedIn Premium. They’ve noticed my recent activity posting articles on my blog rather than submitting job applications directly through their platform.
Let me share what LinkedIn Premium offers. Some key features include:
• Custom button: It allows me to guide profile viewers to take actions like visiting my website or signing up for a demo.
• InMail messages: I can reach out to anyone—even if we’re not connected—like peers, industry leaders, or potential partners.
• Company insights: This helps make better, data-driven decisions.
• Who’s viewed your profile: I can see who visited my profile over the past 365 days.
They said my free trial starts today.
Personally, I think this is a great opportunity to get more attention from companies and potential employers. It also increases the chances of my CV and current projects being noticed. However, despite these amazing features, I started to wonder how can I continue using this premium service beyond the free month without paying the subscription fee?
Why does LinkedIn still aim to make money from job seekers like me? I know it might sound like a silly question after all, in this world, almost nothing comes for free anymore.
What do you think about this offer?
Should I take it or leave it?
I’d love to hear your thoughts..
