THEN SHOW UP AT THE DOOR, OR CALL.
Sheesh.
“THEN SHOW UP AT THE DOOR, OR CALL.”
Around here there is sign after sign after sign in front of businesses promising “immediate” interviews, start the next day, up to $1,000.00 per week starting pay, and bonuses of up to $3,000.00 after 60 days.
I’ve never seen anything like it before in my life.

That’s not how it works any more. Unfortunately.
If you show up at their door they will direct you to their web site.
Otherwise the dykes in HR wouldn’t be able to screen out old white guys.
Applicants need to be taught to do more to conform with the system. They should be able to pose their qualifications in terms of the job specification and do the job announcement, otherwise maybe they’re not qualified for the position. They should be working off of a new total life master resume of about fifteen Pages consisting of everything they ever did, even hobbies and other things that seem not related to work, They need to ruthlessly cram their own experience skills and education into the slots suggested by the significant keywords in the job description and job announcement. And then worry about making themselves look like princess Charming when it comes to the first interview. They should have already researched the company and the position so that they know more than the hiring workers about the position, and they can actually lead the interview, showing the people who do the hiring that they have to hire them based on how they will answer all the positions requirements and do everything that the company needs.
I’ve had receptionists REFUSE to take a copy on my resume, and one who did take it throw it in the trash before even I left the lobby.
Different times.
I remember when the Dallas Cowboys used a computer to make their draft picks back in the 80’s. It didn’t work out at all.

Don’t be silly. Unless we’re talking fast food, resumes come in electronically or not at all. Showing up in person will get you removed, and calling will get you in a hold queue and eventually to a HR voice that will tell you to apply online (and if you’re persistent in that way that used to impress, will get you flagged as trouble).
