So many companies require you to apply through their online application, but what if you get confused?
It's okay to call human resources and start asking questions. While you're on the phone, ask for a follow up name. Here are a few more tricks to get you noticed:
Take keywords out of the job ad and put it into your resume AND cover letter. Companies scan online applications for them.
Most formatting doesn't show up on the other end on line, so keep it simple, those bold words and bullet points probably won't be there.
Add your name to the resume file. Recruiters get hundreds of resumes per week, most named resume.doc.
