How can I make myresume stand out in the crowd and land a job interview when so many competent people are unemployed and applying for the same positions I am applying for? I feel like employers don't even have time to review all of the applications they must be getting for their openings…any advice?

Use paper, nothing catches the eye nowadays than a real letter.

paper is always good and if you do do it make it bigger than A4. Make it something like 220mm x 220mm and on a bright paper. That way when it get's put with all the other ones in a pile it always stands out whichever way you turn it. Also, make it clean and concise. Nothing worse than a horrible rambling CV.

You get nothing if you don't invest some time in something so do it right, spend a few $$$ at a copy shop and get noticed.

Why don't you just drop by their office and pass your 220mm x 220mm CV to the hiring manager in person? Nothing beat the human touch baby!
