One thing to add. Many corporations are using software that pretty much guarantees that your resume will get lost unless you play the stupid resume keyword game. (The resume keyword game involves ripping words directly out of the job posting and reusing them in your resume)
If you can get a hold of the recruiter or other contact from your target company, this helps get you past this artificial screen. No matter how you do it, if your resume isn't seen, then it's worthless. This is why I'm so pro-LinkedIn - it's just the easiest way for most of us to find a contact... or better yet, reach out to to someone you're already connected with on LinkedIn who happens to work for the company. (But who you would have forgotten if you hadn't connected with them!)
