Sure miss the days when one could walk right into the business, talk to the owner, and walk out with a job... assuming you weren’t put to work immediately. Those were the days.... some outliers still exist though they are few and far between.

That's the way it always worked. That's the way I got almost every job I ever had. I can't imagine the horrors of the current digital age.

My daughter intentionally went old school with job applications.

Sent paper letter, on bond (personalized with in signature) , with resume on bond, and college transcript straight to the design makers, bypassing the HR.

Offered 5/5 jobs, took one.

Each said it was a delight to see an old school application.

Corporations decided to honor the almighty dollar. They definitely don’t care about employees. Stock owners maybe.
