Better yet are organizations that use computer programs to screen 
the resumes.  At one time I applied to tonnes of positions with 
the Canadian gov't and never got an interview even when my skills 
matched the job description perfectly.  Then I realized that the 
trick was to copy and paste the job description into my resume, 
and just work my experience around it.  All of the sudden I 
started getting interviews.

Often they would have a form where you had to fill in your 
Education, so they would 100% for sure screen out someone without 
a degree. I think they would do better if managers just went back 
to hiring family members :o)
