Like other social networks, you will have a profile. It's a good idea to fill that profile out completely. LinkedIn uses the information in your profile to suggest people and businesses with whom you might want to connect. You also have a better chance of turning up in searches if you have detailed info in your profile.
You can practice some virtual networking by joining groups. Take part in the conversations that are relevant to your industry. Answer questions, offer advice and really contribute to the discussion. Do this often enough and you will be noticed. People will consider you to be an expert.
Follow companies you'd like to work with. Read their updates and track their progress. You may find they have a need you can fill.
