LinkedIn is not entirely focused in providing job postings or ads but is focused on linking people with others with regards to their organizations, companies as well as jobs.

Just like what you include in a resume, you will also need to provide past job experiences, seminars, trainings, etc along with links to it for proof. As you have these on your profile, your employer will be able to scan through your skills and can assess if you're a good candidate depending on your experience.

Be sure to check back on your profile for messages

One trait that employers would want on their employees is being prompt. One way that you can show your employer that you are prompt is through responding immediately to their messages or emails. By regularly checking your messages as well as possible job openings on LinkedIn you can have multiple job opportunities which can increase your chances of being hired.
