How do I know my resume was reviewed?

Don't Get Electonically Ignored

In many companies, unsolicited resumes are scanned directly into a computer system. If there is a job opening, the recruiter enters keywords describing the job, which searches the database for the best match. If your resume is not full of the right keywords, the retrieval software isn't anymore likely to acknowledge you than a human. So, think twice and tailor your resume to the position you want. By putting applicable keywords in place, you just might beat the electronic obstacles and surface to the top of the heap.
