I lived through some really tight job markets as a youth, and it was the most aggressive of my classmates who got the jobs. I would advise printing out a short resume that could be scanned quickly, then handing it directly to the assistant manager with an explanation of the web-site problem and declaration of readiness to get right to work. If they don't hire you right off, I expect some will at least tell you how to get to the front of the line.
- themoonisachees 3y agoNo manager in the history of managers will currently take a paper copy of your resume, period. That's not even considering giving you a job, they just will not take a resume. It's more hassle for them to enter it into hiring software, if it's a big corp they have to justify why the applicant is not in the hiring software in the first place, and they most likely can't do anything about choosing you inside the software, for fear of racism/sexism by the corp. 100% of all managers will always tell you to apply on the website, no matter how broken it is.
