Does that actually work? I don't think any technical interviewer has ever mentioned my github, and the most difficult part of getting a job is to get HR to forward your resume, and those obviously don't know a thing about code.

    Point it out explicitly in your resume. Don't expect them to figure out your github activity on their own.

    It's definitely better to have open source experience than no experience.

    Obviously, but you don't answer my question. Do people really get interviews thanks to their open source work? OP is more likely to land a job by networking than by contributing to open source, is what I am getting at.
