I just got a rejection email that arrived exactly four minutes after I submitted my application, which has to be some kind of a new personal speed record. It’s wild that a piece of software can reject a human being’s entire livelihood based on a missing keyword or an irregular font choice. Are you doing anything specific to trick the automated screening tools, or is it just a total guessing game?

I double check to make sure I have all the keywords from the job description. Also, anything that's required in the description, I also make sure it's included on my resume.

If you think you missed a keyword, then you can always re-apply under an alternate email. It's worth a shot.

They say there are certain keywords to "trick" the system. However I sometimes wonder if it is luck.
