Be sure to include education and experience that you don't have, but just put it all in white text. If they check for them, your application passes through some filters.

If they really needed those qualifications, I'll get weeded out when a human reads it and realizes I don't really have those.

This is just to get around the bots, which all too often weed out perfectly good candidates (as recruiters themselves admit)

Won't that be in the really small white job ad text that's been pasted in already?

Not necessarily. An ad can ask for a degree in X. Your resume should have a degree in X from institution Y to match that.
