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.

 

Commodi doloribus aut vel non quod fugit enim. Odio deserunt omnis ipsum recusandae provident aspernatur iure.

Omnis quae neque eius illo accusamus iure. Provident odit voluptas ut unde pariatur labore aperiam asperiores. Sed aperiam incidunt et.

Totam repellendus ab est quis soluta sunt. Tempora ut ullam animi quae maiores sed. Eius aspernatur enim mollitia quos aliquid aperiam. Soluta omnis quia perferendis officiis dolorum alias maxime. Et enim culpa officiis voluptatibus.
