How can I use LinkedIn in my job search? What are funds looking for in a LinkedIn profile?

A: Everyone looking for a hedge fund job should be using LinkedIn.  Many hedge fund have hired in-house recruiting teams, and these teams are charged with sourcing candidates, not just processing resumes that come through external recruiters.  LinkedIn is a major resource for them, so make sure your profile is current and includes the keywords that a recruiter might look for.  Include detailed but concise summaries of your previous jobs, and make sure they link in some way to the type of opportunity you’re looking for at a fund.
