English term or phrase: walk-in
Hola,
Es un formulario para solicitar empleo a una agencia gubernamental estadounidense. En la sección "¿Cómo supo de nosotros?", dice:

Friend
Relative
*Walk-in*
Employment agency
Other

Con los otros no tengo problema, pero ¿qué es "walk-in"? ¿Podrá ser algo como "por sí mismo"?

Gracias y ciao
Alan

sin cita, de paso, de vistas


Explanation:
Walk in es cuando alguien ingresa a un negocio sin tener cita previa. Que iba de paso y lo vio en el aparador. Por ejemplo un salon de belleza, una estetica o algun lugar donde le ayudan a uno con sus impouestos (H & R Block aqui en los EUA).
