Don’ts

Don’t send out mass invites to more than 30 people at once

Don’t put non-professional items in your status updates

Don’t obsess about the number of connections and build slowly over time

Don’t just get started on the site two weeks before you are changing jobs

Don’t worry too much about using InMail
