But I’d definitely suggest reading the following couple of links first:

Later, once you have set up your profile like a pro… I’d strongly recommend the groups functionality as you can join up to 50 in any niche interest. Here is a 2 minute video (by LinkedIn) on how to use the group functionality http://youtu.be/F5CF1FEm_oA that is really useful. Don’t forget to join our Linkedin group “How to use Social Media for business and goodness” here.

 

If you also have various presentations from projects you have worked on, I would suggest setting up a http://www.slideshare.net account and trying to get any presentations publicly available onto here under your name. It is good in it’s own right but you can also display these presentations on your Linkedin profile.
