There could be a couple of flags here
First the guy is being way too extra with the way he acts, so the touching story could very well be made up, just to push a hard case onto them by giving a different spin, really dogesa on top of sob story on top of a sales pitch for his company is sus
Second the character description is already contradictory, he is a devoted son, a hardworking man, with realistic goals, who is willing to grind things up in order to achieve results, so how come all that somehow translate to no qualifications at all?
Even if he has no certifications other than a high school diploma, how come things got to the point where coming to this company for help was easier than to get him some certifications from an online course or even a community course? Both options which can be accessed under a low time and money budget
The sob tale already reveals some inherent stuff to fill on that CV, he is not a NET, so whatever he may have been doing even if it pays low must also have given him some skills, and I can peek that he at least has had 2 previous job experiences, so how come that results on an empty page, even if you drop out of middle school that doesn't means you come out empty
And one thing is the guy himself not knowing how to make a self evaluation for his profile, but then the guy advising him and trying to find a new job is also leaving it empty?
Also why insisting on IT where competition is already high? A better strategy given his story would be to direct him towards a field with more risk bigger demand and lower competition, for example in Japan due to the aging population and the increasing trend on a population relocation towards urban areas, he could join the transportation industry as a long distance trucker, a hard job with not a lot of competition but in need of workers and that due to its nature (being long distance) is not so easily automated just yet, of course he would need a driver's license to operate bigger vehicles but that should be easier than to crack in into the IT world with nothing
Well regardless of what the truth may be, I am looking forward to seeing how the president will manage this scenario after taking up the job
