You'd mail your resume in (it was a 'hack' back then to hand-deliver it), then get a call in a couple days or weeks. Then someone who was home during the day (if you already had a job) would answer the phone and take the message from the HR person (or they'd leave one on your answering machine), you'd then have an appointment to go in or return a call to set one up...

A friend is searching for a job right now and was surprised to encounter an online job posting requesting mailed in resumes.

Next we need a service that will tailor resumes to job descriptions using LLM's (already easily available) while also having an integrated "mail this resume" function.

First class postage on printer paper will be the default, but you can pay more for cardstock, pink paper, and a scent to give it a little something extra.
