I agree that companies get several applications for one open position. It is difficult to screen a resume. However, when there are good resumes then they should not make mistakes too.
Some companies have difficulty in understanding the expertiese of a person from a resume. One senior researcher I know had attended a Google (India) interview. He was questioned on basic problem solving skills by all interviwers. He did well in those interviews. However, his frustration levels through the interview process slowly increased because it appeared to him that he is being interviewed for a programmer position. The funny part was that none of the interviewing candidates had any exposure to his area of expertise.
For a given open position, does the company know what 'Qualified' means?
