  Yes. It is bad advice. Live and learn and stop suggesting it.

  When was the last time and did you know the people at the place you did?

    About two years ago and no, I didn’t know them (but I did have experience on the field) I just googled local companies. I got an interview in the second place I asked.

      Well, 2 years ago when I was looking for a job and tried the same thing, I got told the don’t take resume’s unless there was a specific job posting. And I was asked if I saw a position advertised. Then asked to leave the business when I said I was following advice like this.

      You hit a one in a million.

        I don’t think it’s luck. What probably explains more of it is that I was applying for a job that involves getting your hands dirty in a company with less than 10 employees.
