He means, what techniques/methods can he use, say when meeting a recruiter by coincidence, or, when sending a persnalised email (follow up email?) to a firm.

I've been running into a lot of situations where the first contact is with some dude or dudette from India. In that case, they're looking for answers to a checklist and a resume. After that, they submit to a manager. If you want to get by that, you need to do some research so that you can say what the interviewer wants to hear.

At my workplace we operate on a three-pronged approach. First, resumes are run through a software package that selects candidates based on keywords found in the resume. Then, candidates are called in and roasted by the HR Manager who tries to rip them apart prior to meeting the head of the relevant department. This will be the hardest part because you're dealing with someone who is looking for reasons to fail you. Then you meet the department head. Have your research done so you know the right things to say. Back up with proof where ever possible.

In the end it comes down to three things: being able to read others, being able to say/do the most desired thing, and finally the backbone to be cool under pressure. Make eye contact. Say the right thing, but say it with confidence. Back up your statements whereever possible to reinforce positive feelings. Make people feel good about talking to you. Being able to read facial and body expressions is a big plus.

Also, at my place we run people through a test. We have them take a test hat measures their intellect and guesses their personality type. Easy to pass. Go for strong initiative while being able to work in a group and deferring to authority.

As a disclaimer, I am massively drunk (it's a Friday night at the time of this post). If nothing makes sense, throw out a few questions and I will reply as best as my alcohol-soaked brain will enable.

Thanks for the reply.

how do the software packages that selects candidates based on keywords found in the resume work? just screen out anyone who doesn't have a certain keyword - like 'succesffully' or 'Harvard' or what?

>how do the software packages that selects candidates based on keywords found in the resume work?

I don't have access to the software myself, so I can only guess how it works. Basically, a call is put out on CareerBuilder or some similar site. Then resumes, probably mostly in Word format, are collected and this software scans through them for relevant information. This way HR doesn't actually have to read any of them.

My guess is the software scans for a number of keywords relating to the job and their frequency. Based on this a set of resumes are selected to actually read and choose from.

> just screen out anyone who doesn't have a certain keyword - like 'succesffully' or 'Harvard' or what?

Essentially. I don't think it focuses on screening anyone out so much as it screens people in based on how often a particular word or phrase is mentioned (someone in HR would of course, define the word or phrase).

After that, a few resumes are chosen and people are called in for the rest of the process.

Probably uses a bayes filter. Bayesian filters process a huge corpus of 'success' labeled resumes, and a huge corpus of 'fail' resumes. They count all the word frequencies and use those to estimate probability of a given word appearing in a 'fail' or 'success' resume. When they read your resume, they see what words you have in it and use bayes theorem to process the words as evidence for you being either 'fail' or 'success'. It poops out a probability estimate.

If you know the important keywords and phrases you can game the shit out of those filters. You would avoid words that have a high probability of fail, and go for words with a high probability of success. I don't know where you would find such data, but I imagine it must be around somewhere.
