Thank you in advance. I'm in the job search mode and am wanting to send the right message and be the most effective.

im not in HR either. but the most important thing i feel is that people remember you and your resume.
sometimes i recieve an email with a resume and i dont really want to open it. maybe im too busy, or just not in the mood at the time.
if someone walks in with a resume and is looking for work, it shows initiative, and it gets noticed. plus we'll have a face to the name. so its easier to remember and more likely to get a call back. that way even if im not in the mood, i still have to look at it.
i know id rather recieve it by hand. that way it sits on my desk and ill be forced to have a look at it, rather than get buried under a pile of emails.
if you can try and meet the company first. one thing is for sure, you need to be able to catch their eye and have them remember you
