I looked at this resume. it looks good but his job history is a major concern. Of course, some might say why even invite him to an interview, perhaps they gave him a chance only to discover in the interview process that he's really impatient and not willing to stick around for long?

There is a ramp up time for new hire, which could be a couple of months. So durations of a year or less doesn't look good. I personally like to see minimum of 2 years for each job. Of course, too long can be a concern too unless they really grew in their role.

I agree with his conclusion, Network is king, but I also believe in listening to the universe. If everyone is "wrong", maybe you are the problem. If lots of people don't wish to hire you after you have solid experience in the industry, something is wrong with you and you are being stubborn by refusing to recognize it and fix it.
