We firmly believe that the best way to get an interview upon applying for a job is to have a dead-on resume for exactly what you are looking for. There is no way, that resume can be dead-on for every employer/recruiter that finds your resume if it is published on the web. Therefore, we are offering the following tips to consider when posting your resume online.

Generalize as to what you profess to bring to the table. Once you find out what they are looking for then you can send them a tailored resume that is in line with what they are looking for.
Saturate your resume with key words in an attempt to be discovered by the search engines.
Focus on trying to get a phone call from a prospective employer or recruiter as they attempt to fill their open job requisitions.
Find out as much as you can as to what they are looking for if you get a call. Leave no stone unturned. Do some of your own research on the position and the players at the employer. Then send them a more detailed resume which brings out the qualities they are looking for.

Particularly with recruiters, this is a good thing as they will typically be very receptive to having a candidate who is exactly what their client is looking for. Recruiters will be amenable to working with you to bring out your most pertinent experience. They told their client, an employer, that they have the where with all to bring in highly qualified candidates. They are on the hook for a tier one candidate and they don't want to let that client down. If you deliver a resume that brings out your experience in light of what the employer is looking for then you will be on your way to an interview!

Again, recruiters will generally be willing to work with you on tailoring your resume!

In sum, use your keyword enriched resume as bait to get the attention of recruiters and employers then bring out the gaff in the form of a bull's eye resume when it comes to getting them into the boat.
