Yahoo! HotJobs posted a great, insightful article about why job-seekers might not be getting a call back. Job hunting is a lot like dating. Sometimes, "s/he's just not that into you."
What also can trip up job-seekers are the little things that mean a lot: not following application instructions, forgetting to thank the interviewer, and etiquette breaches, such as leaving your cell phone turned on during the interview. Even worse (I had a student who actually did this): answering your cell phone during the interview.
Brush up your interview skills, and put yourself in the employer's shoes before you show up. Whom would you like to hire -- someone who follows instructions and appears respectful, or someone whose actions scream, "I couldn't care less about this job"?
