Every job I've landed so far in my career has involved a discussion about the works I am willing to post to my public Github (under this very silly username) along with a discussion about my work experience on my resume. Mind here that my Github has mostly retro emulators and games, nothing that looks like "real" work projects. My LinkedIn is barebones and my social media presence is almost nonexistent outside of my gaming stuff, and I prefer to keep it that way. Maybe I've just been lucky, but it doesn't seem like a huge limiting factor in my search. If nothing else, my projects are fun to chat about, and if the interviewer is having fun then you're off to a good start. As a new grad, you likely don't have much of this portfolio built up yet, and that's where the in-person job fairs can help tremendously. They're basically an opportunity for you to gush about your student projects and impress the recruiters. Once you have actual work history, just putting that on your resume (accurately! don't make stuff up!) is the most important thing.
