I have never got a job via LinkedIn, and when I did have an account years ago when it first started, I closed it because of the crazy amount of spam I used to get from it. It's a social media account. Instead of posting about how great your cats are, you post about how great this article that you wrote is. I guess if you MUST have one, just put a link to your own site with CV and stuff that you want - then its there for normal people to see, and those that insist on using a social media platform to decide if they should hire you or not.
