Same. It was the worst back in 2009. I was 19 and my dad couldn't understand why I couldn't get so much as a burger flipping job. I told him how many companies I'd applied to online, but despite how otherwise technologically savvy he is, it didn't compute for some reason. He told me to just walk in to businesses and ask the manager for a job. So I did just that. If I was lucky, I just got the fluoride stare. Most of the time I was either told sternly "you gotta just apply online" or was actually laughed at a few times. I could handle all that on its own. The real bad part was my dad thinking I wasn't really trying. Showing up IRL might work if one already has a resume full of experience, but I have to wonder how well that works when one either has no experience or is junior to mid level (in any field).
