Do you prefer applying for jobs online or going in person with a CV?
I hear mixed opinions depending on the type of role and location.
Curious which one people have had more success with recently.

I do think sometimes in our industry it can be best to apply in person. I have actually landed several roles because I went in to apply. It doesn't hurt to apply online but walking in if you can is probably best.

I personally prefer online, I am so shy but I have seen jobs posted on job boards that want you to bring them in. I would try going in if they are smaller companies. I worked for a corporation that was such a jerk. People would come in and be dressed nice with their resumes, and the manager would be like you have to apply online, sorry and basically walk off. Yeah, it wasn't a good place to work lol.

Online for sure. Not only does it save time, but it leaves a paper trail. They have an electronic copy, as opposed to a paper copy that could get lost.
