Better yet are organizations that use computer programs to screen the

paste the job description into my resume, and just work my experience
around it.  All of the sudden I started getting interviews.

Haha, that sucks.

Often they would have a form where you had to fill in your Education, so
they would 100% for sure screen out someone without a degree. I think
they would do better if managers just went back to hiring family members
:o)

Yeah. These they you can upload a Word document or PDF and they will screen that.
