Nowadays networking is pretty much your best bet to get a job. the filters on these online applications dont accept any underlined/bolded fonts or anything out of the ordinary in your resume, just plain text. so if it looks spectacular on paper you can bet nobody is able to read it.

Good luck with your job search!

DO draft a conservative resume that takes filtering software into account.

No script or designer fonts. The software might reject your document.
No tables. Ditto.
No logos or graphics. Almost guaranteed to get your resume rejected.
No continuous lines across the page. Filtering software may read a continuous line as a page break and go on to the next file meaning you just got passed over without a complete read.
No giant fonts. A common mistake of the recent graduate trying to fill space on the page—their name in 36PT bold. The software in most cases will be set not to read PT sizes in excess of 16 or even 14PT.

I'd search the name of the company and the word "scam" together.... You'll get a pretty good amount of feedback that way.

Print out your resume, a cover letter, make yourself a business card summarizing your resume, put on a suit, and hand deliver those.

This!! There is no substitute for pounding the pavement.
