why not just go in person? might get to talk to the right people and have an advantage when they go to hiring someone

Got my job online only cause you cant apply in person. I would go to the place of business if I was you.

certain places i'd apply online. more often than not, i'd go apply in person tho. depends on distance as well.

if applying online, call the place and tell them you have submitted an application.

yeah, some of the big businesses now are so computer dependant, i thought maybe an online application could be better. but tried bestbuy online a couple years ago, and i never heard anything. then again i had no work experience and was only 16 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I'd go into the place.

my mom always said go in. and if you don't know if they're even hiring, go in and ask, instead of calling to see if they're hiring

and moms know best //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

best buy you have to apply over the phone, or last time i tried, they gave me a card, then you type in the store number and it tells you if they're hiring or not, then proceed to apply over the phone. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Online....i just filled out a ton of apps recently...You go into the store and they will just give you one at the front counter, or say do it online..you will never see the hiring manager

most of the time, alot of places will have kiosks/computers, that you sit down and fill out your application, which then throws it into the database where they'll review it and give you a call based on their criteria and if you meet it or not. i don't exactly call that online. and yes, i saw about 5-6 in 2 weeks because of that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

if you can do both, i suggest doing both

i would highly recommend going in and speaking with someone directly when you apply.

 

[jrr323 10+ year member]

i would go in person because when you apply online they make you answer a bunch of stupid questions and takes alot longer than a regular application.
