So, you need a job? Man, do resumes suck

Does anyone else find the post incredibly disrespectful? So to merely have a chance at $12/hour one should include a customized video and pay a professional editor to go over the cover letter (presumably one of many since we are also instructed to make sure and customize each application)? Seriously?

Mr. Scoble's sense of entitlement is staggering. Just because you can lord it over people who find themselves unemployed in a bad economy doesn't mean you should.

In the very least he should refrain from making fun of over-qualified candidates. That's just unnecessary.

Scoble is out of touch. The only thing he knows anything about is blogging. I've never found anything he writes to be particularly insightful either, he just spends all his time writing about popular tech topics. He deserves credit for building his personal brand, but that's about it. I certainly wouldn't take resume-writing advice from him, and I wouldn't want to work for him either. He needs to dial down the self-importance.

I too find this man unnecessary finicky. But why has this post got so many upvotes here on Hacker News?
