I spent the past few months building up my LinkedIn profile and all the basic tutorial boxes are checked. 30+ connections, profile summary, skills listed, etc etc. Question is, how do I use it? I get the purpose behind it, but am I supposed to use it like a white collar facebook? Post links of cool things related to my field, mention a positive interaction with someone, maybe an article that resonated with me? Does appearing active and sociable on there win me points towards a potential employer? Right now this all feels like an act, and I'm not even sure if they would look at anything other than my profile page.
