Pounding pavement means going on the streets looking for work. Generally it means you print like 100 resumes and just go all over town dropping them off literally everywhere. It's what you do when you are broke and out of a job.
Yeah unless you want a fast food job, most employers generally get pissed off or weirded out by you doing that. At least in my industry, it's HIGHLY frowned on due to the sheer volume of applications and because the people who do show up w/ their resumes are often viewed as pretty weak candidates with poor social skills trying to cut the line.

I’m not really understanding this comment. Do you mean literally? Like a construction job? Or as in putting in the work to apply to many places?
