i figure that some enterprising jerk managed to come up with a system for pre-employment screening that he could sell to large employers. it makes the process automated and helps sift through the thousands of resumes that these places are bound to receive.
sadly, this system seems to have been adopted by everyone, so it's very difficult as someone who hasn't come through a more recent education that covers all the bullshit that you have to do to get a job, you're in trouble.
i would highly recommend that you visit an advisor. these advisors are also enterprising individuals who have found a niche market in educating people in dealing with the bullshit system that another enterprising individual created for us to suffer through.
in order to get yourself recognized, you have to use key words. you have to read the job description very carefully, and be sure to use as many words from the description in your resume and cover letter as possible. the algorithms are looking for matches here.
it won't cost you much to have someone review your resume with you and make it more attractive to a piece of software, and it will also help you with some of these bullshit pre-screenings that everyone is subjected to.
