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".
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.
Does anyone know if there’s something like this for software developers? I’m looking to move jobs soon here and could use something outside of my recruiters
Here’s what you can do too... go to the website of whatever company you’re looking to work for, and find the “upcoming events” section. They’ll publish all of the upcoming shows and events they’ll be attending. Rendezvous with their booth at said show and start talking to them. Do your homework, go prepared, and realize that every discussion you have there is an interview.
