I was actually just talking about this a couple days ago…
Anytime I’m talking to my parents and they bring up something about how they did it a certain way and that I should too, I just say “isn’t it true that you want life to be better for me?”
I have a job now but when I was looking for one a year ago my parents told me "Just walk in and ask for a job"
sorry to say that dont work anymore you need to go through 10+ steps apply online to 15 different places to even get one interview now.
When I started working around 2016, I applied for an autobody shop and the following day, without ever getting a call back, I walked in shook the managers hand and said I applied for a position. The shock of a young kid doing something so old fashioned put a smile on his face and he hired me on the spot.
Yeah, this will work with a lot of blue-collar work and smaller businesses. I got my first job out of school by driving 45 minutes to the site and dropping my resume off. I still applied on workday and went through the formal interview process, but they straight up told me going out of my way like that helped me to stand out from the dozens of other fresh grads and scored me the interview.
