My resume is exactly as you say it should be.  But still no calls. I have been unemployed for seven months and I've received two inquires from employment agents that told me I was going to be a hard fit (thanks-a-lot). I have applied to a number of employers directly and not one call or inquiry. It's becoming very, very depressing.  I have to ask myself "I'm I too old for the work force"?  Even though employers are not suppose to practice age discrimination to say the lease,  but it is easily recognized once your resume is review.  Your work history tells the story of how young you are not.  How do you raise above this?
