Rant: I sent 47 resumes in 5 months, then got 2 interviews in 2 weeks just by walking into shops
I was stuck on the job boards for 5 months, sending out 47 resumes, and got maybe 3 callbacks total. Then a buddy in Denver told me to just go in person to shops around town with a folder of my work and ask if the manager had 5 minutes. I did that at 9 places over 2 weeks and got 2 interviews plus a part time gig. The difference was wild, the online apps never even got opened but the face to face ones remembered me the next day. Turns out people want to see you and hear you talk about the work, not read a PDF that a filter spits out. Am I the only one who wasted a whole season applying online when doors were open the whole time?
