YMMV
I got laid off, got the LinkedIn premium (free for one month). Got hired before the trial ran out.
What's YMMV?
Your Mileage May Vary
Your Miles May Vary, an acronym saying that it's his/her opinion/experience, and your experience may be different.
Never looked into it, what exactly does to help on the being hired part? It advertise you more somehow or what? I only remember the thing about being able to see who checked your profile I think...
You can contact people directly and if the job posting is in LinkedIn you can see the experience level of other applicants.
The bit about seeing other applicants was key for me, I dared to apply for a job I thought I wasn’t qualified for.
