On: How to apply for a job and ace the interview

[lowglow]

I'm going to have to slightly disagree. I think there is a balance, and ambition and eagerness are great assets in a start-up environment in addition to technical prowess.

What I mean is that it's pointless to talk about how to ace an interview if the person in question isn't even capable of the job.

Such guides tend to be more along the lines of "how to hack the hiring process".

Literally the fourth sentence in: "I’m also going to presume that you have the set of skills the particular job requires."

Nothing about this guide is about circumventing the natural ways people find jobs (save for one step, and perhaps the lengths of which I'm asking people to try), but illuminating what has worked for me, and reiterating some tried and true methods of success. I feel you didn't even read the article, yet felt compelled to comment.
