Okay, I've decided that applying online isn't getting me anywhere. I'm taking my dad's advice and going old school. I'm going to go store to store seeing who's hiring. Should I bring resumes or business cards with me? I don't have these things, so I'm hoping they're not necessary.

I see people having this issue constantly but I don't get it, between last Friday and yesterday I put in around 80 applications across 7 or 8 industries and had 2 interviews yesterday, 4 scheduled for today, along with a job offer from one of the interviews from yesterday. Don't just apply to one place and wait until they review your app and respond before applying to the next. Apply to everywhere that you'd be down to work, then hopefully you'll have multiple places reach out to you and you'll have options. Uploading your resume here or to indeed and using 1 tap apply definitely helps mass applying.

That being said, if you do go door to door, a resume definitely isn't a bad idea. Print out a handful of them so you can leave them if requested. Be prepared to not immediately interview even if they're hiring, as the hiring manager may not be there when you go. Upsell yourself and don't lie but definitely embellish a little, you'll learn as you work and sometimes you just gotta fake it til you make it.

What job(s) are you looking for and where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

No it really is like that. Mass apply and barely any responses, or interviews saying they aren't actually hiring. Job market is harsh in some places

At the very least, you should take a resume. Otherwise, you’d probably just fill out an application, same as you’d do online. There may be a chance that you’d get an interview from walking in, since you’ve initiated interaction and showed initiative. I wouldn’t walk in without a resume though

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
