I received an email for a contract with this message:

"You are receiving this email because your resume is in our company database and has been matched up on key words by the system as a potential match"

When composing your resume, be sure to use Key Words for the position you are applying to ... or their computer system (ATS - Applicant Tracking System) will Never find you among all the other resumes.

I Try To Get The System To Find Me: 

When I enter my stuff into an On-Line system to apply for a contract, I add a Key-Word summary at the bottom of my resume, it has many Key Words that will show up on a applicant query.

Example:

KEYWORD SUMMARY
