Should you be building your online presence just to get a job?

You shouldn’t.
What you should do is build a personal brand that will seriously improve your chances of landing interviews and eventually, a job.
Personal branding is a long-term investment, and it sticks with you beyond just your job title.
Honestly, it’s worth it.
If you’re not into LinkedIn, pick another platform and just have fun with it.
A lot of people just throw their resume at every job out there and wonder why they’re getting ignored. It’s about standing out, not just blasting everything out.
