Cheating the Resume Profiling Systems?

I read this off one of my forums... dunno if it will work.

These days a lot of big companies use "resume filter" software to weed through the mass of applicants. They load key terms into this software and rate resume submissions based on how many key words any particular resume has in it.

Normally no human lays eyes on these resumes until they've gone through the filter. Here's the beauty of it.

You "upgrade" your normal resume with various key words in WHITE COLORED FONT at the bottom of your resume.

No human will ever see these key words and if you're good you will drastically increase the chance of getting your resume into a human hand.
