About 25 years ago I tried to apply at a company I really wanted to work for but had no luck. I then placed a resume under the wiper of every expensive looking car in the parking lot. No hit hits and probably confused a lot of people.
I took my resume to a professional resume service. They reworked my resume. I sent that version off to 3 companies and got 2 job offers. I guess creative didn’t work in my case.
Most resumes stink, and just throwing resumes around doesn’t work. You need a professional network and then do your homework and get in touch with the hiring manager at each company.
