Yup. I did this a few years back after getting frustrated with few responses. After doing just that they increased significantly. People will say it's not worth it, that it doesn't work in general or because "companies are updating their systems", but from my experience it totally is worth it and apparently a lot of places still aren't using solutions that vet this.

Worked particularly well with getting responses from gov applications lol



that hasn't worked in years mate.

it is one of the reasons why many application systems, even if they're able to parse your resume, require that you manually add things like jobs, education, and certifications.


Whatever you say.
