I've tried the keyword thing, and it has never worked for me. Plus, there are thousands of resumes they are running through a computer, and to "stand out" is highly competitive. Plus, if others are reading advice on how to "stand out", everyone is doing the same thing so no one stands out.

They keep repeating the same things over & over as to what you're supposed to do, and you do those things. But still..... To me, it's an oversimplification of what works. It's a subjective process, in my opinion.

Also, see my latest post in this thread:

I am upset & anxious enough about the procedure, and it burned me up to see that this EMPLOYED woman can't handle questions in a tactful and clear manner.
