I was laid off back in November and was advised to join LinkedIn by the career transition rep my former company set me up with. He advised not putting much detail in my profile. He said the last thing I wanted to do was basically put my resume on the site and keep the work history very brief. State the job but do not go into detail on the duties.
It only took me about a month and a half to find a new job and the carreer transition guy was so useless so I am guessing he was way off.
