I don't think it's difficult to get overlooked. Not everyone has built up solid connections in the industry that can vouch for them. If no one can vouch for you and you don't have an eye-catching resume (ie recognizable school or company), you end up competing against the other unknowns. At that point, it becomes more difficult for the employer to recognize a good potential candidate from a bad one.
