When you see a Job Post of your interest, probably your first reaction will be to run, and click apply bottom or shoot an email attaching your resume. WRONG. You just made a big mistake.

Before making the Application you need to run the following steps, which will improve your probability of making it to interviews:

1º Identify the Company posting the Job
2º Identify the Poster of the Job
3º Locate the LinkedIn Profile of the Job Poster
4º Send the Poster of the Job a Mini Invite Cover Letter
If the Job Post do not have a Poster, proceed to find the LinkedIn Company Page of the Company running the search, then click on People who work at that company and filter by Human Resources and Staffing & Recruiting Industries. There you will find your Targets: Procede to send them Mini Invites Cover Letters
5º Now, you can click apply bottom or shoot an email attaching your resume.

Following the above procedure will guarantee the highest possible probability of you making it to the screening process. Otherwise your Application will pile up against hundreds of other applicants.

At the End no matter how many Resume a Recruiter or Headhunters receives, he/she will only process the first ten good ones that he believes make a fit. He probably will see all resume coming, but will be biased in selecting the ones for further processing. Establishing a Personal Connections with them helps your positioning within their minds.
