8.) Maintain your profile. Have you just completed a major project? Update your profile with the information, and include a link to the project, if possible. Mastered a new skill? Update your profile. Changed your email address or other contact information? Update your profile.

9.) Keep an eye on the home page. Once you've logged in, the home page can help you keep tabs on changes within your network, give you general information about who has checked out your profile,

10.) Check out your competition -- or potential employer. Use the reference check tool to see what others are saying, and the "search companies" function to find out more accurate information about where you work (or want to work). If you're on the interview circuit, be sure to look up the name of the person with whom you are interviewing.
