Sounds like you are doing everything that you can. I am in a similar position (different industry) and I know your frustration. Qualifications seem right and not even a first call sometimes. As a middle aged guy, it is a real issue of being perceived as overqualified or perhaps unreasonable in salary expectations (from their perspective). I think all one can do is keep your head up and plug away.
Given the economic climate, I have had to adjust expectations somewhat. Looking at more temporary positions/consultant work, rather than full time employment, as I think that will lead to more opportunities in the short run. Hang in there!

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
