Has anyone had any success with walking into a business and giving them your resume?

has anyone had any success with walking into a business and giving them your resume?
its getting to that point for me. what do you do? just ask for a manager, give a firm handshake and make eye contact then explain why you'd be a good asset?

Lol don’t fall for the boomer meme.

they usually just tell you to fuck off and apply online at their companies website

Rewrite your resume and stuff it with keywords related to the job categories you want, all you need to do is get past the keyword filter and then you’ve got a shot at a callback have a great life

lol it's a joke. Apply through the internet.

Just tell him hire me at $10 above advertised rate and i won't burn your house down.

i gotta think outside the box here user. i've avoided wagecuckin it for 8 months now but realize i need to face the music. everything is a meme
yea? are you speaking from experience or speaking out of your asshole on this?

The manager will have a healthy laugh with the rest of upper management the second you walk out with your pathetic suit you bought from Sears right before it closed down

this is exactly what i did. i actually got a job offer a little while back after doing 3 interviews. mr fresco asked me on a scale of 1-10 how excited i was to start the job and i said 10. accepted the offer and then never followed up filling out the offer letter they sent me. they called me non stop and the dude even texted me until i texted him back a week later saying i changed my mind for various reasons.
guess thats what ill keep doing then i guess

Please tell me you're for real. I'm still laughing at the idea that somebody saw the many troll posts on here saying the same thing, so he mistook it for real-life advice.

>HaHHAhahA someone actually wants to work for us and had the nuts to come in and apply
>SO FUNNY

do you really think that thats how they look at it? stupid.
i actually have a few nice tailored suits. and funny you mention sears, i actually worked there for a few months until it closed.

Ive done this. It fails 99% of the time they tell you to go online and they're pretty rude 50% of the time.

I did get one McJob this way in the mall out of the 200+ stores I walked into.

You wont find a full time job this way almost guarantee it

real as it gets big dog. i actually made this post after talking to one of my friends who said if it got desperate enough this couldn't hurt. realistically, what do i have to lose? if im laughed at or mocked for actively wanting to pursue a job then so what? there's fat fucking pigs sitting collecting welfare. at least im trying.

Also, check for job fairs in your area, especially in colleges.

the only thing you have to lose is gas and your time.

I've done this before, I went to literally 400+ places in total, even female stores, this is me: you won't get a full time job doing this. the part time places are all going to tell you one of two things "We're always accepting applications!" in fake customer service voice, or "All our applications are online". Then if you do apply, there's a 99% chance your application is never going to see the light of day. I can tell you this because I used to work at a restaurant and we had a stack of 200 applications sitting in our drawer that no one ever saw because the managers already hired someone like me, who was hired via word of mouth from someone that already worked there.

The boomer memes you're buying into are from the days when HR didn't even really exist.

Nowadays you have a group interview with 2-3 managers, a psycho analysis as part of the application process, a piss test, and you need to have spotless job history with relevant experience and no employment gaps for a part time job that pays minimum wage.

thanks, I went to one a while back with no luck. ill keep on the lookout for more. fwiw i have a degree in information systems. yes, the good goy paper. college was actually fun as hell though.

sure, no doubt the experience varies from person to person. i went to two word of mouth interviews that friends got me but didn't get the jobs because they weren't really directly related to my professional (((experience))) and degree. that and one hiring manager was some fat mexican dude who literally only hired other mexicans. (confirmed by my friend at the job who said he hired three people out of the 25 applicants including me. A "Yanez," "Rodriguez" and a "Sanchez" no shit.
never had an interview with more than anyone but myself. met with CEO, CTO, some of the wagies who i'd be in a team with and of course the hiring manager.

The sweet Latino connection. Get cucked craKKKa.

>lives in America
>hates white people
I wish my ancestors hadn't been so kind to you

I've done it several times, not quite in person but starting over LinkedIn. If it doesn't 'get you a job' it certainly puts you on their radar. I took top jobs this way. I have never gotten a job I just applied for, all the work has been done prior to the formal interview.

Not even being cocky.

I'm in the engineering field with specialized skills. Now run my own business and make sales calls this way.

Not top jobs, TWO jobs

right on. specialized skills with fewer applicants having those skills means you have a better shot from the start. i need to start up a linkediNPC but in general hate social media so i haven't.
you know, theres two sides. i have nothing against latinos but i can't say that if i was a hiring manager i wouldn't hire just whites kek

I know a boomer who literally did this and is still working the same job.

Only if you're applying at Wendy's faggot.
Don't underestimate getting in touch with c levels at mid to small companies & showing your chutzpah

Ive done this plenty of times

its awkward and not worth the hassle

Yes, but don't do it unless
>you know how to make a good impression
>you know which person to talk to
>you know how to respect their time

It worked pretty well for me when I really wanted a specific job, but I know how to convey that enthusiasm really quick and then get out of their hair. It is time inefficient if you don't care as much which company you end up in.

Lol.

I do sales for a living. Walking into a business and just asking for a manager has about a 1/100 chance of getting you a job in the office.

But hey if you have the balls for that.

It's not 1980 anymore. Nepotism is worse than it has ever been.

emailing people is a lot different than walking into a business to ask for an application you smarmy fuck

I'm talking about research you dickless burger-slinging nigger.
Find out who the cto is if seeking an it job, or the CFO for finance etc.
Not just a job at the weenie hut jr.
Stay poor & underemployed

contacting people on linkedin isn't even relevant to OP's question you stupid fuck. you're just in here to humblebrag about yourself

>Humblebrag
You need to go back, biz is not for fast food/retail trannies

1.find out what the company does & who does what
2.call them, talk to them & show up with
Do not email, text, dm on LinkedIn etc, act like a fucking man
3.Get job or leads, slap dick on wall

HAHAHAA

I actually had some autistic faggot come into my office once asking to speak with the manager. He was dressed in a cheap suit and when I stepped to him, he became completely nervous and sweaty. His handshake was also limp as fuck. Felt like I was holding a slug. He sniveled out and I still laugh to myself about the encounter.

That’s you

got my second internship that way. just cold called some machine shop and was doing CAD stuff the next month.

I got my start this way when I was 14
>walk business to business during the recession
>occasionally run into someone else doing the same thing
Paper applications were 1:1 with online apps at the time. It took more than 100 to get my first job this way because of the recession.

The older you are, the harder it gets. The last time I tried doing this was when I was 20
>walk into a small shop that was looking for a salesman
>talk to the owner
>he tells me to wait and goes on to talk at length with some other guy in the shop
>few minutes pass by
>chime-in to the conversation because it piqued my interest
>UH WAS ANYONE TALKING TO YOU? DID THIS CONVERSATION INVOLVE YOU?
>forget it
>walk out

The hostility was out of place, but I see where he was coming from. Businesses get bombarded by solicitors and telemarketers. As a result, walk-in applicants and cold callers have a tendency to be treated like filthy vagrants. Some of the once-golden tactics that worked in the 50s (pic related) will get you screamed at now because business is cut-throat and everyone has a stick up their ass

The only exemption is if its a small place and they have a help wanted sign, or if they posted a job wanted ad online and they have an office where you can talk to a gatekeeper.
