Although there are many Job portals out there, LinkedIn, however, is the current best source of finding jobs in my experience. Their Premium service brings down the job hunting menace even further.

To debug this, Let’s look at the Automated tools & tips to find jobs without LinkedIn Premium

Why not LinkedIn Premium?

Let me be frank and tell you that over the period of time I have been on LinkedIn, I have used the paid services only in the start. I opted out of it because I found that the money spent on some other tools, gave me better results.

I was using some 3 – 4 tools. Out of them, I used just one paid tool and all others were free. This process gave me twice (or in some cases even thrice) the result that I was getting through LinkedIn Premium. If you love LinkedIn Premium then please don’t change your stance because of me. In my experience, however, I was able to get greater results without it.

I would also like to showcase the opinion of Power Formula, where their survey states the following numbers:

“The results from my latest LinkedIn user survey show that only 18% of us are paying for our LinkedIn experience.”

“This number has been consistently rising since I began my survey five years ago, but the majority of users are still taking advantage of the world’s largest database of business professionals for free.”

Take a look at their detailed survey at Power Formula’s Survey – Portrait of a LinkedIn user.

Finding jobs using Google Shortcuts

Although this post majorly focuses on using LinkedIn as your base for job search, we wouldn’t want you to miss an opportunity just because of the scope of this post.

Start with Typing in the following query in the search area:

“Hiring up to * employees” << finds news having the following keywords

And instead of employees, you can also write down the niche or related term/keyword you are targeting. (*) Asterisk stands for a fill in the blank in Google search. And can be used to fill up anything.
