How should a beginner use LinkedIn?

Take charge of your job search! You don't have to say "I'm job-hunting" or "I'm looking for my next challenge" in your LinkedIn profile. You can "I'm consulting," instead.

How do you look for jobs on LinkedIn without employer knowing?

Choose “Privacy”, to the right of “Account” in the middle of the screen. Under “How others see your LinkedIn activity”, click “Profile viewing options”. Select “Your name and headline” to be fully represented or select Private mode to be totally anonymous.

What is the best way to find a job?

If you really don't want to talk about it, simply say “I'm transitioning right now,” or “I'm in between jobs,” and then change the topic by asking the other person about themselves. This sends a clear signal that you're not interested in further questions, without bringing an air of desperation into the conversation.

How do you announce you are looking for a job?

By default, LinkedIn will use your current position's title as your headline. If you are unemployed, go ahead and put an end date to your last employer if you haven't already done so. Next, add a new experience as if you were employed to describe you as a professional.
