How did they get 60 interviews? Do I really need to join LinkedIn?

  Live in a tech hub, get a good recruiter, say yes to everything. 60 is probably extreme, and a good recruiter would probably actually turn you down for this type of behavior, but it's def possible.

  He is exactly what most tech companies are trying to hire. Very strong resume, masters from respected college, clearly passionate about tech, and a PoC to top it off, he literally checks every box.

    Is that actually a helpful comment, its certainly not in the sprit of HN

  Beyond this person being very desirable... probably just applied and responded to a lot of recruiters. I don’t think I’ve interviewed with 60 places in a month but I’ve certainly done around 60 interviews in a month. (10+ days of onsites, lots of phone calls) But, I think it’s quite rare. I was desperate for a job and sucked at interviewing. (Ahem, and I still suck at it)

  Doing 60 interviews is certainly not my style of job-hunting, but I think it'd be pretty dang easy (but a ton of work) to line up that many interviews in a few month period if you are not overly selective in companies you interview with. Yes, a good LinkedIn profile with the right resume items helps with that. Also living in (or relocating to) a tech hub.
