Re: Why Steve Jobs Couldn’t Find a Job Today
#2This title twists the quote. It's asking the reader a rhetorical question whether they would hire Steve Jobs but immediately lists Bezos and other innovative founders. I don't think Steve could get a decent job even when he was young nor did he seek one.

Exactly. The answer to their question is as much "no" now as it was 20 years ago.

I dunno, I'm not sure VCs would be too keen to fund someone with the characteristics of the 1970s Jobs. Quasi-homeless, just returned from a "spiritual enlightenment" trip to India and now dresses in traditional Indian costume, experiments with LSD...

#6A glaring point that the article seems to forget is that Bezos, Jobs, et. al., are founder CEOs. Not one of the individuals mentioned was a hire. I think that's an important distinction, especially with respect to the author's points on creativity.
"... remember that when Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, ... Let’s just say he didn’t have the benefit of the doubt. What he did have: the founder’s courage to innovate despite the doubters"

You can be a cofounder with all those attributes, regardless of VC. You could also create something so compelling that VCs would overlook any concerns like that when it got to that stage of needing further investment.

Re: Why Steve Jobs Couldn’t Find a Job Today
#9If Steve Jobs applied for your job by submitting his resume and waiting for you to invite him in for an interview, he literally wouldn't be Steve Jobs in any meaningful way. He would just be a guy named Steve who didn't finish college and seems to maybe want a job. So the whole premise is nonsense.
The better question is, "if Steve Jobs knocked on your door at 2am and jumped into a long speech about how your industry is begging to be disrupted, and how he is simply so manically focused on creating an incredible product in this space that he can't sleep and he'd probably work for free if that's what it came to" would you hire him?
I think most hiring managers would take a chance on that guy.

Actually, I'd probably threaten to call the cops. Passion or not, 2 am isn't the best time to make unannounced house calls.
