How a Job Hunt Took a Wild Turn When My Dad Insisted on Dragging Me to a Physical Office—And Security Was Called
Ever wonder if just showing up in person with a hopeful smile and a résumé tucked under your arm still has the power to score you a job? Well, Reddit user Guilty-Tadpole1227’s dad certainly thinks so. When his son’s “subtle” online applications weren’t cutting it, Dad went full old-school and dragged him straight to the office — no LinkedIn messages, no emails, just a raw, face-to-face, walk-in job application. Sounds like a masterstroke of fatherly intervention, right? Except, instead of the doors opening to opportunity, they were met by locked ones… and eventually, security politely but firmly showing them the exit. It’s a tale that’s got me thinking: in today’s digital hiring jungle, does directness outshine digital finesse… or is it just an invitation to get politely escorted off the premises? Buckle up — this story’s got more twists than a corporate ladder! <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/1kioxue/mydaddraggedmetoaphysicalofficetotryto/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>LEARN MOREYou need to ask for a job to get one. So, when Reddit user Guilty-Tadpole1227 wasn’t getting hired as fast as he wanted, the guy’s dad thought it was because his inquiries were not direct enough.
In an attempt to help his son, the man took him on a trip to an office building and made him do a walk-in application, thinking the brave display of ambition would surely impress the recruiters.
However, the welcome the two of them got was anything but promising.
This guy just couldn’t land a job offer
