I have not used LinkedIn to find a job as a new grad, but it's really good at finding relevant jobs once you have your experience and skillset filled in. There's a lot of different job titles I could do, and it's really nice when I'm searching for jobs on LinkedIn, I don't have to search by job title, I'll just plug in a city or area and it will give me all the hobs in that area, but sorted by the ones most relevant to me, and it does a good job. In my opinion it's most useful for connecting with acquaintances, former colleagues, classmates, that kind of thing. Then sometimes you'll be interviewing at a company and find out you know someone there that can give you the inside scoop on what it's like, or find someone you know that can refer you for a job you're interested in. Regarding privacy I get your concerns. I don't have a profile picture, and it doesn't cause problems besides LinkedIn periodically pestering you to add one. I think there's also some privacy settings so that only connections can see your full profile details, although LinkedIn sometimes flips switches or makes privacy "uh-ohs" that undo your privacy, so if it's critical to you, then it may be best to avoid. I'd also recommend using a different e-mail address than you normally use, as LinkedIn sometimes treats knowing someone's e-mail address as confirmation that you know the person (plus makes it slightly harder for you to be associated with other things).
