Stand out from crowd|Dropping off a Resume in-person

Emailing the resume’ or sending it by post is a usual method but to secure a job one has to do something more, one has to go a #Extra-Mile. Job advertisements generate hundreds of emailed responses daily. It is possible to make an impression on the employer with a cover letter, but the chances of this are slim when there is a lot of competition and better-qualified candidates. However, when you submit your resume to the company in person, you may be able to introduce yourself to the hiring manager. This is memorable and differentiates you from other candidates.
Many employers seek candidates who take initiative and go beyond expectation, characteristics evident in candidates who choose to apply in person rather than submit a resume via email. Your visit could be impressive enough to lead to an impromptu interview and subsequent placement on a short list of key candidates.
The initiative demonstrated when you dress as if going to an interview and taking the time to enter a prospective employer’s place of business will not be overlooked. You’ll make a strong first impression, particularly because fewer than 10 percent of applicants consider submitting their resumes in person. You may also get the opportunity to speak with an interviewer or manager on the spot, which gives you another potential leg up on the competition.

Following up the above rules and benefits of in-person resume dropping, I decided to drop my resume at Al Barkat Trust Hospital Gojra. I was I design my resume and cover letter according to the Hospital’s job and prepared my elevator pitch.
I decided to drop of my CV to Mr. Rana Riaz; Chair Person Albarkat Trust Hospital Gojra. Luckily, I have already met him in a ceremony of AlBarkat school and he is just a nice person. I was already prepared to face the receptionist and that’s exactly what happened. I told him that I want to meet Mr. Rana Riaz confidently and she directs me where I can meet him.
I met with Mr. Rana Riaz after 10 minutes of waiting because he was busy in another meeting. I introduce myself via elevator pitch. I can see his expression of deep concentration in my introduction. Then I tell him the purpose of visiting and handover my resume and cover letter to him. He had a slight look on my resume and cover letter and said, “I’m really sorry but we don’t have positions announced yet”. I told him that I am here only to drop off my resume for the future recruitment.
Approaching businesses directly to ask for work won’t guarantee you a job, but it is a way to increase your chances of finding one. Like any new skill, it can be intimidating to try the direct approach at first, but it will get easier with practice.
