[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 318757, member: 3907"] Daisy, Once upon a time I used to work for a recruiting company, so I've seen all this from the other side of the fence... The thing about online job applications is, they are designed specifically to weed out as many people as possible right up front. Their whole purpose is to cut down on the number of applications that a human being actually has to look at. They are based on key words and triggers. Certain answers will get your application rejected immediately, because your application doesn't fit the particular cookie cutter they're using. I think Witz, Susie and Abbey have it right on the money. Fill in the application in the way that best gets you through the filters, speak to human beings face-to-face whenever you possibly can, do information interviews...whatever you have to do to make yourself memorable to them so that you can bypass the computer filters.
