Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

Quite a bit, yes. A good linkedin profile wIth relevant recommendations is a very strong tool for getting an it job. I'm not sure how much it is used in other fields.
