>>>Do you find it getting more and more difficult to submit your resume?
Yes. And more so because whenever you get a callback, one of the things
they ask for is an emailed copy of your resume. Especially for a
technical writer, they want to make sure you know how to make documents
look pretty.
But you have to use the builders, because that's how most company search
for the keywords in resumes that signal the people they'd like to talk
to.
