Generally, the easiest way to figure out whoever and whomever is the find the main verb. If the pronoun is the subject of the main verb, use “whoever” (i.e. she, he, they). If the pronoun is the object, use “whomever”. There’s another trick I picked up, which was: him + he = whoever and him + him = whomever. This “equation” helps with the more complex who/whomever questions, which have the who/whomever stuck in the middle of the sentence.
In our example,
She said that she was going to choose HIM.
HE was the first person to submit his or her resume.
Therefore, our answer is WHOEVER.

For example from this URL https://www.whitesmoke.com/janestraus_6:
Teresa donates her time to whoever/whomever needs it most.
Teresa donates her time to HIM.
HE needs it (time) most.
Therefore, the correct answer is: WHOEVER.
Oscar will work on the project with whoever/whomever you suggest.
Oscar will work on the project with HIM.
You suggest(ed) HIM.
Therefore, the correct answer is: WHOMEVER.
Teresa donates her time to whoever/whomever needs it most.
Teresa donates her time to HIM.
HE needs it (time) most.
Therefore, the correct answer is: WHOEVER.

Who has good tricks for remembering when to say whoever versus whomever?
I got this one, but was helped by luck. I eliminated B and C quickly, then decided to eliminate A not because I knew the rule but because I guessed that the question would make me show I understood the first person to/submitted first split. If whomever is correct, you don’t need to know that because you choose A anyway.
