How to Get Your Resume Noticed

These days, almost all applications for jobs take place online and submissions are made to a generic "[email protected]." The way these mailboxes get flooded, there is little chance yours will get noticed.

When you apply, call up the company and tell them that their email address for submitting applications doesn't seem to be working or is bouncing back your message as undeliverable. What they will most often do then is just give you the email address of the person who is reviewing the applications. Congratulations, you just made the first cut.
