I got the Keyword Stuffing part down. It has to be within the first 500 words.

Thing is, it is all a query against the job description. Of course, the more keywords you have in there the better. However, and I think this is the original point, there are people that have 7,8,9 of the 10 keywords.

Companies are holding out for that resume with all 10. Then they complain.

“Companies are holding out for that resume with all 10. Then they complain.”

Unrealistic expectations on the part of HR is pretty common.

If you want to see something really funny, go peruse some IT job ads. It’s pretty common to see requirements for “5 years experience in X”, where X is some technology that has only existed for 2 years.
