Match your resume's wording to the job posting before applying
Most rejections at this stage are keyword mismatches, not qualification gaps.
Why it works
Applicant tracking systems rank resumes by matching the posting's own keywords and phrasing, not by understanding equivalent skills. A resume that says "customer support" when the posting says "client success" can lose points it would otherwise earn — repeating the posting's actual terms fixes that.
