I’d suggest that you network at the target company or industry. Use LinkedIn to find people already working there and reach out to them. Ask them the process they used to get hired and ask them to help you navigate the hiring process and if they are willing, ask them to submit you as a referral. These activities require much more time on your part but in my opinion would greatly increase your chances for success. Good luck!

Like my peers, happy to help and review. There are several strategies that work well, the most important thing is that may large companies use AI to read/ scan resumes, so working on keywords and ideas that improve your score (that are of course factually correct) is helpful. You can start with running your resume through a word cloud tool. This will help you see which words come to "top"..

Word clouds are a start - not perfect by any means - but a good way to get a sense of the "whole"

Obviously, spelling mistakes are a serious RED flag..
