No jobs.

I have applied to numerous jobs for which I believe I am qualified with no luck. Even basic positions only requiring a A+ certification. I figure even if my resume was completely screwed up, I would have received a call.

I have about six years of experience and numerous certs. I can't help but think of all the new individuals to IT looking for work...you begin to wonder what the heck was all this studying for?

Sorry...I'm just venting.

Be careful not to apply to too basic of a job. 6 years experience with numerous certs might put you out of the league for basic jobs. They don't want to hire someone that will leave too quickly or be miserable/bored. Ytoss your resume up and let people give advice. Where are you located? Some places are really dry on tech work.

I don't often get responses to positions I apply for. But if I put out my resume, I'll get plenty of calls from recruiters/employers.

If you don't mind me asking what state are you in? I know that the IT market can vary greatly depending on where you live. I personally live in the Orlando area, and I get calls and emails constantly from recruiters about potential openings. Although in my area they are mostly contract postions.

A poor resume will get thrown away regardless of your skillset. Post up your resume and let us have a peek!

Also, as others have stated applying to entry level jobs when you have 6 years of experience and certifications will also not get you a call. No company wants to hire someone that will start off bored and looking to leave as soon as something better comes along.

Try changing up your resume a little bit. I made my resume more modern looking by adding a small amount of color and I started receiving quite a few more responses back when I was looking for a job.
