Ask HN: Are you unable to find employment?
Never seen the word used in that sense.
As far as me or my dictionary are concerned, a rubric is a category, or perhaps a chapter. :shrug:

Consider purchasing a better English dictionary. I worked in the ESL/EFL industry for years and never encountered the word rubric as a synonym for category/chapter. It is commonly used to refer to a guideline or rule.

Could it be a UK vs. US thingy?
