Most of the time, the resume goes first to the HR guy, who really is so
dumb.  That is kind of one of the problems.  It is pretty rare that the
first guy is going to be an Olin.  More likely, it will first go to some
HR guy who has no clue what the job is about and can only respond to the
buzzwords he has been fed.

If the resume escapes the HR guy's shredder, then it will most likely WILL
go to someone who has a clue.  So you need to provide enough of the
appropriate buzzwords to get to get past the HR guy, but not so much as to
turn off the technical guy (who very likely has as much patience for bull
as Olin, if not less).
