Is this the new version of "just walk in and ask for a job" of our parent's time?

  Is being unwilling to dig deep, find direct contacts (to avoid being grouped with LinkedIn or Indeed mass-appliers) and actually understand the place you're applying (and their mission statement) before writing your note/cover letter the new version of not being willing to go into a place and ask for a job? Yeah. I'd say so.

    There's no intrinsic value in a high effort action that has no chance of success. Tell me. How many times did this strategy work for you?
    • DANmode 1y ago
      Every time. Why else would I recommend it? There's no intrinsic value in hiring someone that couldn't be bothered to fudge that they were Mad Libs-ing their cover letter.

  Yes and it can work if you do it the right way. I have done it at least twice in my career.
