These ideas might break a few logjams. I'm printing that out and putting it right along
with my interview cheat sheet and reference list.

I never interviewed with a recruiter. I've submitted a few resumes with no response.

My resume, incidentally, has been tweaked with GoodWill Employment site ideas. It reads
smoothly, has some meat, but the parts - education, experience, objective don't jive well.
That's not likely to change until I land a job!

I did office temp work for years early in life. I have submitted my resume for more than a few positions
but no response. Temp agencies don't advertise much anymore, or I should say much of the
temp work advertised is factory work. I think they'd be swamped if they advertised office work.

I don't know a lot of people, but i have talked with them. One suggested visiting main street
merchants and chatting them up. Another knew a guy who wanted some kind of
construction labor. I don't think either one is going to help me.

Your suggestions much appreciated. I will follow them closely for a few weeks and see what can
be generated.
