I have been offered 2 contract positions without linked-in profiles
So my answer it is not necessary.
I mostly use linked-in to post articles of interest to me in the various groups as a way to promote open source code repos from authors who publish their software as well as their findings
It is my hope that by posting such articles/work I will encourage more authors to publish their code so we can all grow together
I am 66
I have 8 years of Python,PyTorch, sci-kit learn and TensorFlow Experience
I have 7 years of C# .Net Standard 2.x, and 4.x
I still get contracts, and upwork, but very few interviews for full time work
Most Full Time work escapes me
My opinion is the opposite The trapezoid is no where near different enough, to prevent my short strong fingers from forcing in the USB-C upside down.
I have ruined a phone, and a wireless headset, by not being very careful
You try developing deep learning - neural networks models on an OK consumer Desktop !!!!!!!! My PCIe3 Core I 9 based system with a NVIDIA 1080 TI with 16 GB of RAM on the GPU and with 16 GB of RAM takes Days to train models with only 180K training samples.
So I am pricing Motherboards, and GPU's that are PCIe4
When I developed Database software that computing power was not needed.
Now that I am doing deep learning with 12 bit per pixel medical images I have SSD's32 GB of MainBoard RAM, and preferably a 16 GB GPU JUST FOR THE DEEP LEARNING and use the mainboard or another GPU for the display so x570 mainboards are my goto mother boards
What course work did you perform already, and was the course work interesting ??
What are you hoping to learn from this intern work ? Why do you want to learn that ?
How many Engineers are already present in the company
What range of tasks would this particular engineer perform ? BE REALISTIC !!!
If half of my time is automating current manual processes ; then maybe I am not interested
As an Engineer with 6 patents I am a co-author on
If you want to earn money from the patent I suggest licensing your patent. If a startup approaches you, make the terms easy in the beginning working toward a % of the gross as the company matures. Most companies do not have deep pockets to outright buy your patent for money that will change your life.
I have used upwork.com sucessfully, and also lost many jobs this way as well. So use the site as an elemEnt of a mixture

The first 5 gig of storage is free, so you can try it out.
There is a friends and family option on folders, so you can share
I am 66 years ols, and still am paid by companies to write c++, python and C# programs
I tried being a manager of a team of 7 developers and hated the meetings, and budget negotiations, so I quit and never looked back
I used to live an hour outside of Sacramento, CA in the gold country. But even though I had DSL My internet was 768 kilobits per sec, when cable came in it was only 5 megabits per sec. 70 per month in 2016 So I rented my home and moved to Los Angeles area where I can pay for 200 MegaBits Per Sec Down, and 10 MegaBits per sec up for 85 per month
provide hourly rate and/or fixed price for work/job
DO NOT CHARGE 20% like upwork.com
be searchable like Google.com I.e. Date Ranges; Key words + and - i.e +"neural networks" -LSTM work with neural networks except LSTM(Long Short Term Memory" neural networks
No need for average color, or other image based characteristics ; but using an SQL like language might be useful for a good percentage of developers
When I was an independent consultant in the mountains in northern california. There were companies running devices from their Windows 7 and Window NT computers where the device manufacturer had gone belly up, quit or just decided to not support their previous products. I had several sucesses using WINE on Linux. The companies were so grateful that in some cases I get free pastry, coffee, and/or sandwiches
Here in LA some schools are in a bad way so I put Linux on old hardware and teach the kids what is different between linux, libre Office, GIMP, and other FOSS software. I freely transfer my HATE of M$Soft and MAC to these young minds
I was in my mid 20's Silicon Valley Company I grew my team from myself and 1 employee to 6 full time employee and 2 contractors This was in 1990's The meetings were a bunch of good ole boys congratulating each other on sales, and profit sharing amounts. When everything was done after 3 months to define a new interface drawn on board, talked through, changed. When the new box was swhown to sales marketing their reaction was "I didn't know it was going to work like that !!!"
I waited 1 month then quit, Never will I ever do that again
Decision made people are my kryptonite !!!!!
Start with UpWork.com I use this to get side jobs that last ususaly 1 - 6 months
other sites that i have come across either here or elsewhere
https://30hourjobs.com/
use email, teams and slack a lot
Writing leaves a record, you can go back over and forces me to think more linearly.
usually any time zone differences are taken care by corresponding in complete thoughts. This, That, it and other pronouns are forbidden
I tried to put in a URI from github.com
Pressed the next button and NOTHING
Tried with www as part of URI STILL NOTHING
Maybe it's just me, but this site is not ready for prime time as far as the github URI
