You are not getting a job because you are not highlighting the tools you used. There is no place I can go on your resume and have a comprehensive list of the langages and products you know. If I was in a hiring authority, I would glance at your resume for about 5 seconds, then put it aside as underqualified, because I do not see the languages and systems you were working with POP out at me.

Just some friendly advice.

Wait, you do have a Skills Section, but I think it needs rework:

· Borland Delphi
· SQL on a variety of platforms including Oracle and SQL Server
· Object Oriented Technology
· Internet and Web Technologies
· C and Visual Basic
· Windows and Microsoft Office

These iterations seem a little vague, and some of them -- like OO tech and Internet and Web tech -- seem redundant and unnecessary, since most people will know you have these based on your languages. My Skills Section is not even that great -- I needed to mention some more facets of my understanding -- but take a look at this. Maybe the example will assist you: .NET, C#.NET, VB.NET, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Java 1.1 through 1.3 (Java 2); UML design tools, Microsoft ASP; Javascript; XML / XSLT / XSP, Flash 4.0; Crystal Reports, C++; DHTML; Visual FoxPro 7.0; FoxPro 2.6 under Windows, UNIX; InstallShield; COBOL; Cognos Powerhouse; QBasic; Assembly Language; Some exposure to Paradox; Perl; SUN Solaris; Win95/98/ME, Win NT4/2000
