Just got off the phone with the hiring manager. Said she wants to pass my resume off to the analyst team. This is for a fairly large investment firm. Their offices are close to my current one so I was thinking of walking it over there tomorrow and giving it to the HM on nice paper, etc… Your thoughts?
I’d actually say no. Just practically speaking, she probably wants a soft copy so she can pass it around easier. Plus any sort of HR type typically hates anyone that breaks routine. Sometimes going above and beyond isn’t the best route. Just my initial thoughts…
Cashews. Bring her cashews and you’re fixed.
Scented, pink parchment. JK, sounds like a good call, though I dont know the mindset/attitude of analysts toward soft skills. If it was a Sales Manager I would say definitely.
Hand delivering a hard copy resume = sign of desperation = ding

This whole process is so damn annoying.

Something different = ding. See other thread about telling “your story”.
SMIRK–you would be the toughest interview in the league, I’d love to see you tear someone apart in an interview “So I grew up in Compton…” “GTFO out of my office!” lol
