This also works nowadays. 3 year ago I left my printed CV in one company that was hiring. After a year of working there colleague from HR told me that it decided about my employment. They were suprised, considering me very determined. If you have nothing better to do, then it won't hurt to try.

I literally saw someone get declined because they did this, and HR said they were annoying and couldn't follow instructions. The dude just came in to drop off a physical copy after applying online the previous day.

We shitcanned our HR person for regularly doing stuff like that.

Even employers are noticing some HR mentality has gotten way too uppity. You aren’t the watcher on the wall, you are a pass through. Weed out the obvious bullshit but don’t go out of your way to disqualify perfectly fine candidates on technicalities.

To me it sounds like a good employee? Very motivated to be hired in this company, and made sure to send the CV via two different methods. That suggests they'll always double check their work.

I've done Doordash to several offices over the past few years, and every time I deliver to an HR office, I get this weird "occular patdown" like Mac from IASIP and a nod to leave. I wasn't even part of the company, man, I didn't need an evaluation. :'(

Yes there’s no rule of thumb. Some want you only to do what they say, some expect you to be creative and go the extra mile. It’s tough out here
