The real way to use linkedIn is treat it like a virtual CV. Just enter all the important info on your profile, connect to past employers and employees who would be able to provide good reference and that's it. No need to browse through the slop trough of a timeline or actively post about your "recent meeting with some random supplier going great!" Because no hiring manager gives a shit about the social aspect.

Absolutely agreed, I do the same and also message past colleagues to keep up with them.
