I genuinely think you should be able to get a job interview by walking into a business and introducing yourself with a firm handshake
writing a billion versions of my resume with matching cover letters and manually inputting all the information already on my resume into individual application forms and then getting rejected by AI screening scripts is making me wish i was dead
It genuinely depends on what industry you are in. Every single job I’ve had has either been calling the companies in the area and letting them know I’m moving and want to have employment lined up before I move, or by calling a company and letting them know a shift in management has occurred and I’m looking to transition to a different company. The most I’ve had to do was email a resume, and if there’s an interview it’s a lunch interview that’s super casual.
Basically any trades based industry still operates that way, because most trades are still local businesses. When you get into the national or international businesses they streamline the humanity out of it.
I would absolutely consider hiring somebody who walked in with a smile and a resume. Hell, I’ve hired somebody who did that. (He turned out to be a turd, but that’s beside the point.)
However, I do a job that it seems like most lemmings wouldn’t be looking for.
Not sure but it involves walking up to a stranger, spontaneously making conversation with them, handing over a sheet of paper full of your personal information and they being judged for how well you did which sounds about as anti-Lemmy as it gets.

I’d call that boomer-adjacent. You think you should be able to, but boomers believe you actually can.

Whats the job?
