Those aren't the filters being used, not when there are hundreds of applications for a role.

You could be the platonic ideal candidate yet be screened out in the 0th round because you didn't go to a fancy school or you're missing one keyword from an irrelevant list.

Getting past the resume screening to a recruiter call is always worth it. Always.




Take .NET job positions.

Are they looking for the keyword “Csharp”, “.net”, “c#”, etc?


To further your point, what's actively developed now is called "dotnet" instead of the legacy ".net" (now ".net framework")


It always had name .NET Framework, and what we have now is called .NET.
