Will my contributions to open source software look good on a resume?

I am a college student pursuing a degree in computer information technology. I currently work part time as an I.T. consultant, but I may pursue programming as a career post graduation. In my spare time, I enjoy contributing code to open source software on GitHub and Launchpad. Will my contributions on open source software be to my benefit on potential programming-related job applications and interviews? Would it be worth my time to make meaningful contributions to more open source software? #software #programming #open-source

Does contributing to open source projects help in boosting your CV/resume?

I am have recently graduated with a mechanical engineering degree and now finding a job. I lack the relevant work experience needed for some of the jobs. There are jobs that require strong programming knowledge along with engineering degree. I have experience in programming from the projects I did in college. However in order to stand as a better candidate, I feel that contributing to opensource projects in GitHub help in showcasing my skills. What do you think about this? #programming #employment #open-source
