I’ve submitted an application and resume via indeed, hoping to be considered for hire. At Salvation Army.
But haven’t heard from them and I’ve sent a follow up email.
Should I make a visit in person?
You have to apply to dozens of jobs to get one reply. That’s my experience anyway.

I’d call before I went in person. Emails are so hard to tell what you are getting. Talking is more personal

Companies hate it when people call now. It used to be that they thought it showed good intent and initiative. Now, it just irritates them.

I found my job on Indeed too.
I applied to a lot of places. Many ignored me, some wrote back and said they were not interested. I landed a few interviews, and then finally got a job. It took months.
I agree with @anon4362788, I wouldn’t pester them if I were you… They know what they need and if your resume is a match or they are interested they will respond wanting an interview. The interview is your chance to show off yourself and make a good impression. When I applied for my job the guy told me there were over 300 applicants, but it was my interview that made me stand out, and I had to go through several interviews. He told me I was one of the top contenders after we spoke. It wasn’t my resume because I haven’t had a real job with a real business for over 17 years. I just wrote “self employed” on my resume for that time period because I freelance as a computer technician and do things like cut my neighbours grass, but I don’t own a business.

Hmm that is good to know… thanks.
I feel like only place I would get hired by just showing up, is mom and pops restaurants.
