With all the automated scamming on both sides, maybe showing up to the place dressed well to drop off a resume isn't an antiquated idea after all.


I tried this during peak Silicon Valley days. I remember two things:

1. I got laughed at for wearing a suit by t-shirt devs

2. Around 40% of the places did not allow people to walk in the door at all.

I would be pleased with this kind of "analog" solution to this noise though, even as someone who missed the previous in-person paradigm entirely.


Hiring is so broken now that it might be worth trying.
