I assume you have Visa for where you are applying to. Without seeing your resume it is hard to highlight what you are doing wrong. It is important to realize that your resume can get ignored for a variety of reasons. Typically the first filter is an automated system which looks for key words. Second a person in HR looks at it. For techies, the HR is a problem as HR does not look at things in a technical fashion... To get past HR, I recommend a resume writting service. Since at 500 applications you should get a bite, but there is obviously SOMETHING wrong with your resume. <bitterness on> The annoying thing I have encountered is the companies (HR department) likes to FIND YOU! I have had calls from the HR department saying I would be perfect for a job at their company. I agree that is why I sent a resume last week. Radio silence follows. Implication being, what use is an HR department if they cannot find someone, they do not get as well rewarded if you find them.<bitterness off> Have you considered visiting a recruiter? Since they are money orientated, they will work hard to fit your round peg in a square hole.
