How? That's just general "how to do well" advice, it doesn't help explain which of the reasons were relevant to a particular rejection.
And even that comment doesn't give an example of a shortcoming relative to one of those bullet points.
I mean, from the comment it sounds like kaspm literally told the candidate: "hey, sometimes it just doesn't work out, you should be glad at 'batting .200'.". I don't see the actionable feedback.
Edit: I added the specific examples of each item that I gave the candidate but decided to remove them so as not to expose them publicly should this candidate read hacker news.
People can PM me if they'd like to know more information about the way this particular candidate could have benefited from the above.
I'm interested in the details, but I don't see PM info in your bio.
Please reach out to twitter@web007 or ryan at geekportfolio with anything you can share - I'm working on a side-side-side-project for increasing employability, and this kind of info is exactly what I want to promote.
