    Where’s walking into the store, demanding to speak to the owner, looking him straight in the eye and giving him a firm handshake while insisting you’ll be the best employee he’s ever hired?

    Just kidding, they’ll just look at you weird and tell you to check the F tier platforms.

      I would love to see one of those sankey diagrams about job applications except it’s some dude walking into local businesses everyday to do the firm handshake and insist that he would be the greatest employee they will ever have.

      And then, because I am a scientist, repeat the experiment with the same dude but dressed like a slob, with a woman, same lady except dressed like a slob, etc

      And then do a small paper on the sociology of the interactions and how hiring managers innate biases might impact getting hired.
