LinkedIn premium is nuts

I have been actively (almost desperately) looking for a job switch for almost 6 months now. I have applied to probably 300+ companies. I have used LinkedIn, Instahyre, Naukri. Hardly got 10 call backs over all. So, do you guys think paying 8.3k for a yearly LinkedIn subscription would be worth it for me?( I have already used up the trial plan a year ago). Anybody noticed some improvement in recruiter calls after going premium?

It comes as a shock to be honest. Only 5 connection notes are allowed per month. Buy premium for unlimited notes. This is a night mare for job search. Anyone knows a workaround over this? Would really appreciate

I am currently serving notice period and want to use it to the fullest. Any suggestions?

I’m not employed from June. Still trying to find a new job. I’d seen some posts months ago that employees from LinkedIn can offer free LinkedIn Career Premium to help people with their job search. Can anyone here offer a 6 month LinkedIn Career Premium? It would be much appreciated :)

Context: 10.5 YOE, Marketing lead. I've been looking for a switch since September last year. I'd seen signs of maybe my role or the company itself folding very early and knew 'twas time to bolt. But it's not that easy. Back then - 1 year in a startup meant hey not bad, people still spoke to you and considered your profile. These days, they treat you like Ebola if you've not had your ass stuck in the same place for 3-5 years. Anyway, so the majority of my time searching for jobs was the shitty Easy Apply or IIMJOBS premium account route. Suprise suprise. It doesn't work. But hey I was still employed and not nearly as motivated as someone who's unemployed. Cut to layoffs: Got laid off with my whole team and a huge chunk of other leaders. My first layoff, felt hilariously like the last day of school. To the org's credit they gave us 3 month severance, leave encashments and extra months for those who'd been there for 2 years+. In hindsight hearing the horror stories of 2k severance from Byju's. I'm grateful for the nice golden parachute I got. I'll be honest, it contributed heavily to my mental stability. I had time, I had leverage, I didn't have to run for the first shitty opportunity that came my way. The How I did it (why you struggled through the above stream of consciousness) - Wrote to 159 founders with one pagers to 35 of them with ideas on how i'd lead their marketing function. 5 replies. 3 interviews. 2 offers - didn't take em cuz they were super early stage or diff cities. This is immediately in month 1 so I've already started feeling icky about not getting great brands to have in my set. - Easy Applied to 768 (I ran a Gmail search, this is a real number) jobs. 99% no responses or you've been rejected. -Kept changing one letter on my Naukri.com profile, got me 6 calls, 3 interviews and 1 conversion I think theres a word limit to posts 🥲 following up as comments below.

Need it on urgent basis 😥
