Job Searching Afterthoughts
If your CV doesn't seem to have the impact you wanted and you're not getting many interviews then you should consider the following: Are you aiming for jobs that you aren't qualified for? Does your CV meet the requirements of an advertisement? Are you older/younger than the stated / implied age range on the advertisement? [Job adverts in countries with age discrimination legislation shouldn't include age ranges, but this doesn't mean that employers / recruiters won't discriminate against you, even if this is illegal.]
If you can see no reason why you have been rejected then you should look again carefully at your CV as this must be the culprit. It might be a good idea at this point to seek advice from a professional CV writer on why your CV isn't having much impact.

If your CV is getting you interviews, but you're just not getting the job offers you desire then you need to look carefully at your interview performance. You should try and get as much feedback as possible from the people who have interviewed you. If you have been unsuccessful in obtaining a job, ring up the interviewer and ask them where they think you fell down and how they think you could do better. Once you have got feedback you can modify your interview technique and hopefully do better at the next interview.
