Friendly advice, learn more about typography and readability.. Had to copy&paste to an editor to read the text.

Is it just me, why is it so so difficult to read? the fonts are hurting my eyes.

That font and the contrast gives me a headache.

#5Cool font. Fun to see someone customize their website in a way that speaks of them!

#6The highest order bit about job search being broken at the moment is that the supply of jobs has fallen. It was bad before, too, but that's the primary thing making it worse. The main solution is to spend more time in person networking: find companies you like, and attend any tech talks they host at their offices.

#7Not to step on the authors toes, but it’s not the job searching that is broken - it’s the market that has shifted to favor companies and to put applicants at a disadvantage, something that hasn’t happened in the IT field for a long time.
People reject candidates without a college degree because they can afford to - they still have plenty of applicants to pick from after filtering out the rest. There is no need for them to pay time and money to filter for diamonds without a college degree - they will find someone suitable for the opening even with the crappy applicant experience outlined in the article.
The current system is not broken, it works just fine - for the companies.

Most comments so far seem to revolve around the look of the blog post. Mine will be no different, since I just barely avoided a migraine headache by not reading more than a sentence. The contrast is way off.

#9 It's an incredible security risk to have asked my address, work history, contact info, sometimes my SSN and demographics, and have me trust that you won't have that leaked.
