I prefer the traditional online application and get a lot of calls for interviews. But when I go for the interviews because I am handicap and have to use a walker, I sometimes don’t get callbacks even though they are a EEOC employer. As a manager when I was interviewing, I always called back my applicants whether they were hired or not. That is just showing respect to any applicant that I had reviewed the résumé and felt that they might be a fit for the job. But after the interview, if I decided that they were not a good fit for our medical practice, I either told them upfront why or after interviewing other applicants and making my final decision, I had the decency to call them and let them know we had decided to go a different route.

Direct walk-in; hands down. The last interview I had was at our local dollar store. They were looking for help; I talked to the manager and was told that all I needed to do was fill out the online application and she would be watching for it the next day. It was a PT cashier position. I told her I no longer had a resume (I am 63 and only looking for 12-15 hours a week), but I did have recommendation letters from my boss and co-worker at the last job I had (2017-2025) and had other references as well.

However, I fell when I was walking home (dollar store is a little more than a mile away) slightly cracked one kneecap and got what was a nasty soft tissue injury on my ankle. I never contacted them back. I regret not calling to tell them about my fall and I would need time to heal.

I prefer the traditional way

Just be true to yourself lots of companies does like what you lies reason why a lot of unqualified candidates got hired before qualify candidates, but at the end of the day you know yourself better than everyone else tou know what you are worth, therefore be true to yourself that's what I can advise you. Be blessed

I prefer the traditional online application

I still like personal interviews you can leave a better lasting first impression

I prefer a timely interview and an opportunity to meet the manager and possibly current employees to observe the culture and ins and outs of the office.
