I don’t think its worse its just that your chance of finding a job that way is such that you could be just as productive buying lottery tickets. Seriously. Have you ever worked at a place that you could do anything more than tell the person to go to such and such a place and fill out a application or more likely now go to the website and fill out an application.

unmagical@lemmy.ml 3 days agoThere are worse things than saying “no.”
Companies aren’t hiring people without experience, and it’s cheaper to not bother upscaling your employees and just leave them trapped in their current job.
No one cares if you show up in person to ask for a job anymore, and if their hiring system is all online it can even be a bad impression because it indicates that you can’t find information from their website and follow instructions.
This seems like the kind of boomer advice my dad thinks still works and hasn’t worked in decades.

Not if you’re applying for Apple or Goldman Sachs. Different story with smaller local businesses.
