Well I think I'll be plagiarizing that resume layout, slick and precise.

#22Hmmm being desperate used to be a bad thing. Maybe I am old school.
Exactly. Being modest was a virtue too. I am definately old.

#23Is it just me, or does anyone else feel these "please hire me" news stories are irrelevant on a site that is centered around people starting their own companies? Still, I wish him the best of luck.
agree, they should not be allowed. Everyone puts effort when trying to get hired.

#24I think there is a need for a reverse job portal which is open. So candidates can post their resumes, profiles, videos etc. to this portal and also select the categories or companies for which they want to be considered. Any employer can search for the candidates on this portal and contact them. The idea is that the data is open and not in control of a job portal. There can be some security measures to keep the data…
Sounds like http://linkedin.com to me.
Not sure about linkedin. First of all you need an employer subscription to see the data for all the users. Also, for most of the users the data they put on linkedin is not very structured. It is mostly the dates of employment and sometimes a very general description about them.
The features that can distinguish such a site is that candidate data can be open and there is more structure to it and the primary purpose of the site is getting a job rather than business networking.

#26Isn't the "LATEST TWEET" section supposed to show an actual tweet? It's blank and only has a twitter icon that links to his twitter account.

#28I don't really know about this kind of reverse applications. Looks like the guy would work for Google just for the name. I invested over $3,000 of my own capital to create a marketing campaign that would get you to notice me. I haven’t been that desperate to get someone to notice me since my first highschool crush. Desperate? Really? What if Google calls to offer an under payed job? But, hell, marketing is a so diffe…

#29In norwegian we have a word for this, 'kleint'. In danish 'kikset'. Which means a high level of embarrassing.

#30I don't see his online marketing savvy reflecting on the way he chose to promote his own skills in the market.
Especially that he's saying "In this case the product is me, Matthew Epstein.". You're calling yourself a _product_ and yet you don't market that product remarkably, IMO.
Best of luck anyway, hope you'll get a good offer out of this.
