If you're not even getting to the phone interview, it might be ageism and/or your resume isn't written for the role you're applying to.

I'm a hiring manager and all too often I get resumes from people that think listing more is better. 5, 6, 7 page resumes are exhausting to read. Write for your audience. Know the company you're applying to. Know the role you're applying for. Write addressing those points. Take it from the perspective of the reader. I have 20 resumes on my desk, I need yours to stand out.

As for the ageism, take out dates. Don't need to know what year you got your degree. Don't need to know past 10 years.

That should get you on the same level as everyone else for the phone interview. After that, it's a different story.
