    I do think this is underappreciated advice though. In 2015 after I finished my Bachelors I wasn’t having any luck with job searching, so I started printing my resume and hand-delivering it to the companies instead of responding online. My resume sat on the desk of my future manager for a few weeks until he eventually decided to go through with interviewing me. If I had only applied online I suspect my application would have been looked at only once, and I probably wouldn’t have been hired.
