Showing Up Can Make a Difference

If you have identified your dream employer, don't be afraid to demonstrate your dedication and enthusiasm by showing up in person to hand off your application. Studies show that having a face attached to your resume dramatically increases your chances of an interview. However, if you choose to visit to a potential employer be sensitive to their time constraints and keep the entire interaction under 5 minutes: smile, introduce yourself and hand them your documents, thank them and leave.
