years ago. it doesnt worth it. If you make a quick calculation how much it cost by InMail, it doesnt worth it yet. Especially when you have more than 50 connections. I could rec'd it for someone who start in LinkedIn. I have begun using the premium Linkedin services as of today. The simple reason is that I am trying to reconnect with a bunch of people at the same time and that the default level was not providing me with a sufficient number of introductions at any one point in time. By quickly building my network online I have been able to source different contacts on career opportunities that I wouldnt have been able to do otherwise. The cost is 19.95 per month and could be worthwhile depending on the outcome (hopefully it will ;) ). So far I am a big fan!
