Dress smartly, be respectful and polite and ask intelligent questions. I would be surprised if they did not have time for you. I was thinking just walk in naked and plunk yourself down in the waiting room.
Definitely will be noticed and won't be forgotten.
Too bloody funny!!
Seriously, it depends. Who are you? 150 hrs on the R22 or 15000 hrs and waiting for the 225 to get serviceable? The answer to your question would depend on your answer to mine.
Advice:
1. Target jobs you are realistically qualified for.
2. Every job you get, do well 100% of the time.
3. Be friendly.
Everyone you meet in the business may well be the reference you need all too soon.
And don't completely discount the quote above! When culling through the stacks (seriously!) of resumes sent in for the handful of low-timer jobs we would be filling that season, anything eye-catching / funny / interesting / unique at least got us to look at it twice or show it to the other guys.
Then make sure the impression you made is good, not bad! Dangling the twig and berries in front of the receptionist may not be the best impression...but treating her nicely is.
One very well qualified pilot that I interviewed was not considered because of how shabbily he treated the receptionist while waiting to see me.
