Don't worry too much about that. Apply for a ton of jobs, for weeks, if not months. Assume that for 80% of them, your resume will get tossed immediately, for no good reason whatsoever. Not your fault. Similarly, for reasons beyond your control, you'll probably fail half of the phone screens, and when you actually get called in, you won't get past 90% of the interviews. Don't worry about it: that's just how it goes. Those numbers will vary substantially with the market, your experience, your innate horsepower, and your asking salary, but the fact is, although there are a lot of developers out there, and employers are careful who they hire, there are also a lot of job openings. Play the numbers game: my rule of thumb is to apply for 100 jobs to get one that you want.
