While flawed in practicality, I do think there is a nugget of wisdom in that one.
Cold applying isn’t the move, but in-person connections and relationships help land jobs. No don’t go into an office and ask to meet with the ceo and give your resume, but the idea of making connections with people to land a job does stand.
Maybe your dad is being facetious?
In the old days, before security concerns, automated hiring processes, etc., walking into an office (without security handcuffing you and walking you back out) was a legitimate action (in some cases).
The point is to get face-to-face with someone rather than just being a piece of paper or a statistic in a database.
If possible, this is where face-to-face networking can help.
For example, if I meet you at a conference, like you, and find out that you have the skills for a current opening, why spend the company's money interviewing 100 people when a gift horse is staring me in the face?
