Your connections and reputation make a huge difference. Connections from my part time job at HP during college have been a big factor in getting my last 3 jobs. My first job out of college was with a company that one of my professors had introduced me to the company president. With social media sites, I think you have a great opportunity to have a many connections you wouldn't have had otherwise. If managed correctly, they can make a huge difference. If you aren't careful, you probably can hurt your reputation even faster online. I don’t think it matters whether it’s online or off. Your connections and reputation make a huge difference.
