    I've been job-hunting-ish for about 3 months now. I watch this a lot when I'm about to write a cover letter.
    The rhyme at 9:30 sounds like a Golden Age comic book villain. "The Job Hunter"

    It's amazing how much really good advice are hidden in his casts like it's nothing at all =-p

    His advice on making something is sound, but a bit unreasonable. Making A shader engine or working on a game that turns out well is a long project and very hard to pull off. Thinking a bit smaller would probably help in this case.
    I do think his comments on GPA and the like are accurate, despite them still being sorting mechanisms, I think more people are seeing things as he is- they want a more tangible representation of your work and talent that they themselves can judge rather than a number that represents what other people think about you.

    Lmao, I had those only words in my resume when I applied to both Microsoft and Google (Senior SE). Funny enough, both companies contacted me afterwards.

    Ok. This is not possible if you are in the final year of school with no work experience and try to apply for a company that does pharmacy or biochemics.

      Method 1: become a village shaman
      Method 2: cook meth
      Method 3: get an unpaid 3 month internship if those exist for your trade.
      Method 4: if you're a decent student your university can probably hire you to be a lab assistant or some such.
      Method 5: eat amanita shrooms and write research papers on how the piss retains most of the hallucinogenic and can be reconsumed for another high.
      There's probably some good advice in there somewhere
