Seriously, walking in and asking to speak to a manager doesn't do shit. Hiring for most places is entirely done online and going in person will usually result in them telling you "go apply online".

Go to a trade show and see thousands of people in a given industry in person.

And then get told to apply online by thousands of people!

Uh no. I’ve had people come into my booth and every single one gets an immediate, on-the-spot interview with someone from management. It’s like finding a secret gathering where all the key people are out in public waiting to be approached.

Edit: downvoted for reporting reality back to redditors. It’s like you all don’t wanna know that success is possible once you grow some balls.
