        It is a way for the agent to say if you don't live commuting distance don't bother applying to cut down the number of applicants.

            That tells me he can bulltulip but doesn't tell me he has any actual skills.

            And a look at his profile confirms exactly that - he has an MBA after 2 years as a code monkey in India and 2 years working in Primark while doing a second / third rate MBA at a former poly.

              I'd never hire someone who wears the shirt collar outside the sweater, unless I was hiring a gardener.

                He's from India and it's Edinburgh at 9am in November..

                    He looks fine. Much more presentable then lots of young coders these days.

                    But ya he has a tough hill to climb, btech with an mba from India neither at schools that mean anything doesn't get much more common than that. Really hard to stand out.

                      He could still have the shirt collar tucked inside the sweater
