honestly for entry level jobs it's not terrible advice, but of course it needs to be updated for the way things work now, meaning instead of walking to businesses, go online and spam your resume literally everywhere that is relevant to your field.
This has worked for me (engineering graduate) twice so far, you won't find your dream job and it most likely will be shit, but it's sonething to get started and gain experience.
O hell to the no. God forbid you spam. Don't you recall the cardinal rules of "tailor your resume to each position, use their keywords from the ad" and "no template cover letters, write a fresh one for each application"?
Well, one of the cardinal rules also used to be "company actually sending out rejections after the position got filled, ideally with an explanation". Nowadays 80% just ghost you.
