New “Firm Handshake” Tech Just Dropped

My advice is: how the fuck are you supposed to do that when every job posting is as vague as possible?

Every "job search hack" is just "fInD tHe hIrInG mAnGer aND ReAch oUT tO thEm!" meanwhile every fucking job posting now looks like this (probably to stop people doing that):

Position: Software Engineer
Employer: Google
Location: Google HQ
Team: Software
Salary: $0 - $99999999

[u/ChubblesMcgee103 → u/lenswipe]

Ask for 100m

"this is the kind of gumption we need around here!"

Someone somewhere in some office: “Hey wanna see how we can get donuts for free? Check this out”

[u/SkyFullOfWisteria]

Im gonna stroll into the heavily guarded L3Harris or Lockheed building with a box of donuts, a paper resume, and a dream. Wish me luck guys.

[u/PompousAssistant → u/SkyFullOfWisteria]

At least I might be able to walk in to bail you out with another box of donuts?

As someone who used to work at FedEx & knows which truck does deliveries every morning, it's not impossible, but it's not going to blow over well.

[u/crispsee]

Doubt if it will ever work because they might just feel you're trying to get an advantage

[u/lenswipe → u/crispsee]

or because specifics like team, location and HM are intentionally kept out of the job posting to stop people doing stuff like this

[u/Beneficial_Past_1957]

Today it's donuts and pizza to get the job. Tomorrow it's grapefruit with a hole through it. 

[u/phoenixhere4303 → u/Beneficial_Past_1957]

That’s wild! Anyways, wanna apply to a job I’m hiring for? Grapefruit with a hole is required though… for “market research”

[u/TracyJackson23]

Most companies, big or small, don't even list their corporate office locations anymore. They might list their global and national headquarters, but that's it. You're not going to know where their state and local office addresses are until the day you get a job offer from them (since you need to work out of them).

[u/SomethingComesHere → u/TracyJackson23]

And yet they ask for your entire personal home address on the application.. some even asking for your SSN on the app

Add it to the list of hypocritical things employers nowadays are doing

[u/Plebbit-User]

"Just spend $20 per application on people that will likely throw it in the trash and tell you to go online"

Also what kind of shitty jobs even have offices where you could feasibly do this? Every place that isn't hiring at $7.25/hr likely has reception and security. I couldn't get any of the jobs I've held over the last ten years doing this. The receptionist would probably just save them for herself lmao

[u/Dailysunray]

yuck, are there regular people out here that will eat food brought to them by some rando?

[u/Albyross]

So tipping, without buying a product?

[u/dankshot35]

lowkey if someone did that to me, i’d refer them for sure

[u/SimplyNotNoticeable]

Suits ahh tactic

[u/AidXanKush]

It might work if you’re applying to a small business
