The first rule of LinkenIn is right after you meet someone, follow
up with a request to connect via LinkedIn. The reason is employers
prefer to hire via referrals, and when you connect with people on a
social media site like LinkedIn that you'd never otherwise meet,
you multiply your chances of winning a referral. Indeed, any
opportunity to expand the pool of people who know you (and
hopefully like and trust you) can help you land the job you want.
