Thoughts on In-Person Resume Drop?

What are everyone's thoughts on in-person resume drops? Is it ambitious? Too try-hard?

A company I really respect and would be grateful to even get an interview with recently had a job posting for a position that I think I might be a qualified candidate for.

Was contemplating showing up in person to their office and dropping off my resume, but I'm not sure if it would possibly help my chances of even hearing back from them, or if I would get laughed at and had my resume thrown in the trash as soon as I walk out.

Would not recommend this... I doubt you would make it past the receptionist. If you are qualified, show it in your resume and send an email or two expressing your interest.

Set up a free shoe-shine stand outside the bank you want to work at. Shine shoes and hand out your resume after shining shoes.

 

Maxime et ut est quia nulla. Optio consequatur minus et. Eius qui et non dolore dicta. Architecto similique exercitationem ut ea quo aspernatur. Laborum earum sequi aperiam consequatur. Adipisci et aliquid fugit fugiat provident asperiores nihil.

Molestiae qui repudiandae rem mollitia dicta autem placeat amet. Enim ipsam aut in est qui expedita. Unde vero vitae maxime animi delectus dolorum blanditiis odit. Quia impedit facilis illum animi hic nihil deserunt. Blanditiis amet totam itaque corrupti.

Nulla ullam aperiam aut doloremque. Sed libero eveniet ut labore reiciendis tenetur sequi.
