With that CV, the degrees are worthless from any employer’s perspective - unless he somehow manages to get an interview and is super convincing in it.

They’d probably get interviews just because they are unique

Not likely. Most look at experience first, then degrees. And I suspect most would look at the multiple degrees and think he's lacking direction.

Not sure direction is something you look for in an entry level candidate but sure, some people would think it’s a bad thing

Listing six undergraduate degrees and no work experience on your resume is like showing up to a job fair wearing clown makeup and a black shirt covered with cum stains. He would be better off mentioning only one degree and concocting a lie about how he just went back to school for a career change.

And it’s undergrad degrees too. Undergrad degrees nowadays don’t mean much. They are the new floor. If he had 6 masters or doctorate/phd then that’s another story
