Help this newbie salvage a huge Jade plant was created by popdelart

Hello,
First timer at BonsaiEmpire community and newbie at Bonsai.
I would like your advice about this Jade plant that I want to salvage as Bonsai:

Found it about a month ago in the trash near a construction site.
The cut seems to be healing well, I read that it must heal (dry) properly so to that it doesn't rotten.
The trunk weights about 22 pounds. Should I just place it like it is on the pot? Or do I need to prune?

Best regards,

I always understand that you, once dried out they will start to make roots on the leav attachment points. This is the moment to place the cutting in a pot and then water once. Then wait untill you see the leaves fill with water again.
