$45 a month is a bit of change, but personally I hate strangers asking me to connect to them on LinkedIn since I have a solid network of people that I know well, can vouch for, and who can vouch for me. One exception is recruiters. One issue with LinkedIn is that anyone you link to can see all your contacts too …

So cold connecting to people on LinkedIn better come with a really nice note on the invite explaining why I would possibly link with you. You can be pretty sure they will check out your LinkedIn site so do some real work on that, talk about any student projects, work experience, college activities, etc. Make sure you highlight that you are an aspiring whatever looking to work in field whatever and click all the contact options. Also completely fill in your profile, you can use a distance photo if you don’t want to share your mug with strangers.
