Have you tried getting a new job in the last 20 years? I'm a tech hiring manager and if someone tries to apply in person they are automatically dismissed since it's safe to assume they are not competent enough to read the clear instructions on how to apply on the website.
Also only happend like two times in my experience
Also why would any company care if you have a first aid course.
- yurishimo 2y agoI think it entirely depends on the market you live in. If I was wanting to apply for a job at a local company in a midwestern college town, dropping by in person might be seen as folksy and community oriented. Dropping in to the 29th floor of a random building in Manhattan to drop off a resume might be taken as you described however. The world is more complicated than always/never.
- MrVandemar 2y agoYMMV obviously. Context is important. I wouldn't apply to Google like that for example! But a local web-shop? Defintitely. And yeah, it is important to research first, such as checking if they have existing channels. But never underestimate an in-person appearance. An resume is easy to chuck in the bin, a person is less easy to dismiss.
