For the Amazon gig, they reached out to me same here at Oracle, so I didn't have to worry about that. Plus it's not that hard, you search the listing for buzzwords and add them to your resume. Like for me, if it's a requirement that I know how to use "Oxygen XML" and it doesn't see that on my resume, it doesn't move it on.
For me the irony with Citrix is their mission statement:
"Citrix workspace software delivers the business technology that creates a
simple, secure and
better way to work from anywhere and on any device."
Yet, we need you to take your resume and make a bunch of separate entries for all your previous work experience, education, skills, etc. Even though all that information IS ON MY DAMN RESUME!
