There's another recent topic here from someone else, on asking how to get a job while you have a job. And some of the replies suggest he has similar problems I do which comes around to my struggles in my career.

I almost always apply to jobs cold. Go online, through the filter of unwashed masses. Then eventually I learned that referrals get you on the short list to interviews.

Someone who mocked interviewed me told me what was wrong with my approach. Generally speaking I meander too much when I talk. I hope to have another mock session with him again. We actually scheduled four of them, one week after another, but he only had time to do the first one. The rest of the schedule was postponed indefinitely because too busy to do them (because of work). No wonder finding interview help from professionals is hard, even in person.
