The reality is different.
In previous jobs (among which a reasonably big design studio) i have been partly responsible for judging applicants, together with our creative director.
Believe me, first impressions matter a lot. Unless this kid would have a stellar resume, we would not even look twice at this website. And in case of equal skills, the candidate which presented him/herself best and with flair, was always favoured.
There is only a limited amount of outstanding designers who can get away with a selfpromotion like this. Most portfolios fall in the category mediocre and the competition is fierce. So you really need to pack a serious punch with your portfolio.
Something this particular example fails to do in my opinion. Ofcourse, you are entitled to your own opinion, so do with my $0.02 of experience what you want :-)
