How to Use Your LinkedIn Profile as a Job Search Tool
Create a Profile.
Create a detailed profile, including employment (current and past),
education, and industry. Review your resume and copy/paste the
relevant information into your profile.
Add a Photo.
You can add a photo (a headshot is recommended or upload a
larger photo and edit it) to your LinkedIn profile.
Professional Summary.
The Professional Summary section of your profile is a good way to
highlight your experience. Select an Industry, because recruiters
often use that field to search.

How to Use Your LinkedIn Profile as a Job Search Tool
Keywords and Skills.

Contact Settings.
Your contact settings let your connections (and recruiters) know what
you're available for.
Links.
The links section of your profile is a good way to provide even more
information to potential employers and to your contacts.

How to Use Your LinkedIn Profile as a Job Search Tool
Update Your Profile.
Don't forget to update your profile when you change positions or
companies. Your profile should be current and up-to-date.
Grow Your Network
Connect with other members and build your network. The more
connections you have, the more opportunities you have, but don't
randomly connect with people you don't know.
Get Recommendations.
To a potential employer, a LinkedIn recommendation is a reference in
advance.
