Good points. I guess the caveat is I know a lot of unemployed folks who appreciate the connection. It is true - if you don't know of a match, don't make the connection. I'd still assert that the $500 or $5,000 still doesn't make a difference in that case. If you're doing a favor, you don't need the money. If you're professionally searching, you deserve a much higher share of the fee.
