>I'm having no luck getting calls >Are there any sources on skills that are in high demand today? Do you look at the things you are applying for? Presumably you have sent out multiple applications, meaning you have looked at many listings, for sending out a dozen applications you likely already looked at hundreds of potential positions. That should have given you a great overview of what employers are looking for. It is hard to answer what specific skills are relevant to the industry and geographic location are relevant, but you are currently in a great position to figure that out. Your resume and skills should target a particular industry and a particular area and you should start out by actually finding some match between what your skills are and what you can do and what you want to do. >My best plan at the moment is to work on my skill set, get a few certifications, and create an impressive project or two to showcase my new skills. To what end? Do you want to be employed by a specific industry where these certifications are relevant? Do you think your employer needs to see "impressive projects"? How does an "impressive project" look, which you made for the sole purpose of having an "impressive project"?
