I've been working on startups for the past five years, at this point I'm looking for something more stable for my family. I found a job that I think would be a good fit. How do I go about ensuring I at least get an interview?

    There are many resources for this already.

    Be honest. Ring them up, say "I think I'm a great fit because of this actual piece of evidence or example" and say "I want in. "

    If you are not honest or use something other than a direct approach, well, that sends a signal bigger than anything you can say at the interview
