Person with great "resume and/or cover letter" only has proven talent in writing great "resume and/or cover letter". "The Google Resume" is a great book. It's written by a former hiring manager that's worked at Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Gayle Laakman also wrote "Cracking the Coding Interview" and runs www.careercup.com . Nobody gets hired by sending "steady streams of applications for months". You gotta stand out somehow. In my case, I run two websites that track over 300 start-ups. I was also personally referred to Google by a Stanford PhD already employeed by Google Research. Google has no excuse for not inviting me in the 'Plex.
