This stunt is an attention catcher but he can't seriously expect to get a job without at least an interview. And not some bullshit where he interviews the company. There's no way in hell I'd hire him without first checking his competency.

A good candidate does that during any job interview. Two-way filtering helps all parties find better matches faster.


Sure, but I'd expect to have a chance to really grill him as well.


That's what the contact form is for. He's merely sick of the hiring process, as are all of the people hiring.


I'm not sure if you're suggesting using the contact form to ask him interview questions, or just to setup an interview, but if it's the former that's ridiculous.


He says in his pros/cons list at the end that he'll wear trousers to the interview.

I don't think he 'expects to walk in to a job' because of this, heck from the sounds of it his attempts to get a job have been largely fruitless.

This is just his way of standing out from the crowd and getting himself noticed enough for an employer to ask him in for an interview.
