One of the frustrating aspects of the job hunt is not knowing why you didn't get the call-back. Sometimes you sit there and think "I'm wonderful! Why does no one want to talk to me about it?" Of course, this is an unanswerable question; but, if the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then maybe sending out the same resume is insane.

People apply from all sorts of places and recruiters are short on time, so if you're fortunate enough to have your resume make it from the toppling pile or overloaded inbox of a recruiter onto his or her short(er)-list, you may be in for a phone interview. Though this may initially seem less intimidating, be prepared for a number of challenges.
