LinkedIn Do's and Don'ts: COVID-19 Edition

Good afternoon, WSO community. I'm currently a rising junior from a non-target, so networking is essentially a must for me. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the recruiting process online, LinkedIn has become my primary tool for networking and reaching out. I understand that there is no "perfect" way to utilize the platform, but what are some obvious pitfalls I can avoid so I don't end up with a feature on the "LinkedIn Cringe Kids" thread?
