Ask HN: How can a unhireable person get a job?

The entire post flows awkwardly and feels more like an angry ramble than a coherent thought process was applied.

This coupled with being a dropout. quitting job after job, and basically phising executives for attention makes this candidate a high risk hire and is not worth the time.

Poster: You will need to extend your hard skills and demonstrate why a group should take the risk of your background on. It may be brutally honest, but the world is tough.

In fairness, by the time someone makes a forum post like this, they are probably at the frustrated angry rant stage.

Alas, this is not an acceptable cover or excuse for this behavior.

It wouldn't be good as a cover letter, but as far as social media forum posts, its totally fine.

You are both entirely right.

It's hard to judge their writing without seeing their resume and/or cover letter
