I hadn't realized the importance of getting a photo on my profile until I read this thread, thanks for the tip. Just applied for Stairmasters.

What's the proper etiquette for sending a connect request to someone on LinkedIn who I don't know but I have a mutual connection with?

I found an employee at a local company that I'm interested in working for and I'm not a coworker, friend, etc. of hers. Should I send her a message first before I send a connect request? Or just fake it and list her as a friend?

I just selected friend and added whatever message. They'll more likely than not accept it.

I tried this and she accepted, thanks.

I thought this was an interesting read comparing recruiters on LinkedIn to guys trying to pick up girls on online dating sites:

My main takeaway was that "too many people trying to recruit me" is a problem I would like to have. I'm still at the point where I am reaching out to recruiters and trying to build up my network following the blueprint in the OP.
