How important ECs in employability?

Do the chances of landing an interview increase because you have networked and you have people who can “hook you up” or because the EC itself makes an employer who’s never heard of you before more interested in you?

And how hard is it to get an interview? Specifically, how hard is it to get an interview in Engineering? Not for some crazy bank or whatever place hires 1 person for every 500 applicants, but to get an interview for a decent job out of engineering?
