Is there a way to optimize my LinkedIn profile that will help me land a job? Or does it even matter?

You can respond to 50 recruiting messages on LinkedIn and maybe 2 lead to interviews. It’s not a great resource. Best tool I’ve found in this field is co-workers. My last 2 roles came from co-workers who left and I’ve kept in touch with. I’ve also got interviews for several prior coworkers whom I formed good relationships with while working with them.

This is the answer! Someone who can vouch for you and put you in contact with the hiring manager is better than 1000 LinkedIn connections.

I'm sure there are things you can do to make your profile stand out. What those are is beyond me. I hate LinkedIn with a passion, so I've never looked into it. I only have an account so I can submit applications.
