re: LinkedIn | What do you do when you're endorsed by people you never met?

I've desperately been looking for a job recently. I read an entire book (What Color is Your Parachute) on how to get a job. It said that having a good Linkedin page is extremely important. After reading this, I put a lot of effort into my Linkedin page.
One month later, I am still unemployed and ONE person has looked at my LinkedIn page.
So, basically, I'd say do whatever you want with your LinkedIn page, it doesn't make a fricking difference.

You have to network on LinkedIn.
Start trying to connect with as many people as you can in the field you want to get into. Then, start liking and commenting on posts that are relevant to what you want to do so that people will see you. Also, are you looking for jobs through LinkedIn? If so, then it's good to have a well-done page.
Recruiters/managers will look at LinkedIn, so it's better to have a good looking page, and not one that's plain and generic.

LinkedIn is good for what it is. A former co-worker of mine, now working at a different company, told me about a position within her company that she thought I would be a good fit for. We spoke, I found out the name of her boss, immediately linked up with her and set up a phone conversation the very next day.
Have to treat it like Tinder. Make a connection online and then go the old fashion way ether by phone or in person.
Our conversation went so well she is flying down to come meet me out of town where I will be for my current job.
