Participation in contests even if it is not great seems to increase your likely to get an interview. Even I was offered the chance to get interview thrice, but I chickened out, thrice.
Of course, the ticket to interview is just that. You'll still have to do well in the interview and demonstrate that you are a good hire and would fit what they are looking for in an employee. But high performance in coding contests is correlated a bit with getting hired by Google or Facebook.
