Yes, this is what I do now.

I was sitting in Peets today, job searching and happened to overhear the man next to me say hello to a friend who walked in.

Afterwards, I introduced myself as follows.

Me: I hate to be so forward but I couldn't help but overhear, are you in education?

Man: Yes, I am.

Me: I am too! What do you do?

Man: I'm in a leadership position at ______ school.

Me: Oh, really, because I'm looking for a job....

He then asked for my resume and offered his help.

I told someone that I did that. His response: "Is that what you do now? Just give anyone your resume?"

My response: "yes."

This behavior isn't out of the ordinary for me any more, and I'm not afraid to do it.  I figure that the worst thing that I can happen is that the person I reach out to, thinks I'm rude and too forward.  But then I never have to see them again, so I figure it's ok.
