Fedex: dropping off a resume in Memphis
 

I am thinking of jumpseating into Memphis and trying to drop off a resume to HR and whoever else will take it. Bad form? Sitting in front of the computer hasnt been working.

Any tips appreciated.

While I've heard that tactic worked at smaller outfits (think really, really small, like the front door receptionist is also the HR dept small), if you have the time to kill, have at it. You could also catch a hub tour while you're there.

OK, seriously? IIR, you're ex military right? I would network real hard with anyone from any units you severed with that work at Purple. I think you'll get better mileage that way.

Ex Army, we dont have quite the network the other services do. Anyways, I was going to Memphis anyways and thought what the heck.

I'll probably get turned away at the security desk anyways.

The only way is to use the internet, you can keep it updated on line and it is the only way it will be read. If you meet the minimums you will not get an immediate rejection letter and you are in the pool to be called for an interview.

I had fried that went door knocking at purple and brown.

Oddly he's at United now. Seriously they didnt give him a lot of inspiration. You have to know someone and get internals and even then its still a computer game sometimes.

Amazing what people will do to get a leg up. Maybe putting in effort to go to a job fair? Obap been going on the last few days.

thanks for the tip

Someone with an ID would have to get you on property then into the building where HR is. It'd be kind of weird, like "how did you get in past security?". Plus, they're probably some of the busiest people at the company now.

Your best bet, along with the above mentioned job fairs, would be to literally update your online application every day you fly. If that's daily, so be it. Just what I've heard, I'm not claiming to be in the know. (and not many people even know what makes a competitive application)

Keeping an updated application is a big plus. There was a huge post on that in another forum (majors) here some time ago.

Ah.. OK. I couldn't recall what branch. Some good advice from folks above. I hope things work out for you, and thank you for your service!
