6 Step process to redeem LinkedIn's 5 year offer to
veterans to upgrade for free from current LinkedIn account to “Job Seeker”
Account which normally costs $29.95 month and giving it to veterans for free
(savings of $1,797 over 5 years). “Job Seeker” account benefits are: 5 In-Mails
a month free, who’s viewed my profile access, your get a premium badge on your
profile for additional visibility, access to employer/job salary data, access
to “Job Seeker” Group and “Job Seeker” webinars and tools.
2) On the “Account and Setting” drop down – click on “Help Center”
Step #2:
1) Unfortunately you cannot immediately click on “Contact
Us” – you first have to use the “Help Center” search feature. Enter in the
“Search Box” “Veteran Job Seeker promo”
2)Click on “Search”
Step #3:
1) Once you complete #2, the search results will display
but the results are not what we want. We need to send LinkedIn an “Help
Request” to get access and the link to the Veteran “Job Seeker Account”
promo. Now we can access the “Contact
Us” feature. Clink on “Contact Us”
Step #4: In the “Submit Your Question” feature do the below 4 actions:
1) In “Issue Type” select “other” from drop down.
2) This is important: In the subject line type in
“Veteran offer to upgrade from free to job seeker”3) In “Your Question” add this verbiage.
4) Click “continue”.
Step #5: You will receive the below email from LinkedIn giving you a link to get your free “Job Seeker” account for 5 years. I believe, once LinkedIn receives your request they will search your current profile for evidence of military service. Once verified by LinkedIn they will send you the below email.
Step #6:
1) Complete the below form and you are done.
Congratulations.
