Should You Hand Deliver Your Resume?

Facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedinmail

 

Many companies have moved away from paper applications and request that applications and resumes are submitted online. Submitting your resume in person can be a valuable job hunting strategy with positive outcomes. Although some employers may be too busy to speak with your or others may think this job strategy is too aggressive or old school, man others may consider you a very motivated job hunter. Submitting a resume in person can:
• Help you stand out as a candidate
• Put a face with your resume
• Result in meeting or direct contact with hiring manager

 

Be sure the company accepts resumes or application in person and then go for it!
1. Dress professionally and show up during regular office hours.
2. Be polite. Introduce yourself to the person who greets you and ask if the hiring manager is available.
3. Bring required documents in a folder or envelope that is addressed to agency/hiring manager and includes your return address.
4. Submit a package that includes a cover letter and resume (and writing sample if requested).
5. Thank everyone for their time.
