Explanation:
WALK-IN APPLICANT
It is an approach where you just actually show-up at the company without an appointment, dressed for success and resume in hand. Even if a job has not been posted anywhere yet, visit the company you are interested in and ask any employee inside if there are any job openings in the company, or better yet, to direct you to the HR department to inquire regarding this. Try to obtain names of people you could talk to, and be prepared for an immediate interview. This approach is not so easy because not all companies you visit may have job openings, so have several copies of your resume in hand and a pocketful of perseverance, so you can continue the job hunt as a walk-in applicant. Even if they don't have an opening at the time, you can still get a chance of getting ahead, especially since most companies file the resumes of walk-in applicants for future reference.

En realidad usé "postulante" (también podría ser "candidato"), pero como la pregunta era sobre "walk-in", me pareció justo escoger esta respuesta.

Muchas gracias a todos.
