It's terrible advice as most companies are not likely in the range one is seeking and therefore are just a colossal waste of time. Seriously this article tells me to do three phone screens and one or two in person interviews before finding out the company is so far short of what I'm seeking that I won't take the job regardless of any other factors. Sometimes I wonder about people who write such advice and question whether they have actually gone through the job finding process while working another job, or worse, while watching one's emergency fund dwindle while unemployed. My experience suggests otherwise.
