You'd mail your resume in (it was a 'hack' back then to hand-deliver it), then get a call in a couple days or weeks. Then someone who was home during the day (if you already had a job) would answer the phone and take the message from the HR person (or they'd leave one on your answering machine), you'd then have an appointment to go in or return a call to set one up...
- froindt 2mo agoA friend is searching for a job right now and was surprised to encounter an online job posting requesting mailed in resumes. Next we need a service that will tailor resumes to job descriptions using LLM's (already easily available) while also having an integrated "mail this resume" function. First class postage on printer paper will be the default, but you can pay more for cardstock, pink paper, and a scent to give it a little something extra.
- danillonunes 2mo agoOf course, there will also be a service targeted for the companies that receives the mailed in resumes, scans and OCR them and maybe even send the results to an LLM to make further filters and classifications. And here's the neat thing: If both services are provided by the same company, they can even save the costs of actually sending the physical paper to themselves!
- CuriouslyC 2mo agoNo need for a service, agents with a resume can retool it to match it a target just fine already (talk to a hiring manager to see how much this is already going on) and there are already physical printing + delivery services the agent can pay to complete the application for you.
