To all who are having hard time getting a job or even not getting called for an interview, what I can say is that your resume has not even been brought to the attention to the right person of the company you applied for. Most of the companies receive resumes via email to HR. HR's email inbox will be so overwhelmed by applications that they practically won't have enough time and resources to go through each application.

The best way to find a job in todays competitive market is to look for companies which are of your interest/field of study. If you're applying for engineering position, try to find the engineering manager's email address and email your resume along with a nice cover letter directly. If you can't find the manager's email, you'll find company's fax number. Fax your resume and cover letter to that company addressing to the engineering manager. Whoever receive the fax is obligated to give it to the manager, since it is directly addressed to him/her. Believe me it always works.I see this regularly at my work. This way even if a company does not have any job posting will see your resume and may contact you for a possible future opening.

As someone said in the earlier post, having an excellent GPA, work experience and all that is not enough to get a job in US. You have to be smart while applying for a job. Try the above mentioned technique and I bet you'll get called for an interview from at least 10% of the companies you applied for.
