• Your focus is on getting a job.  Huge mistake.  Your focus should be on how to get interviews with someone that can hire you.

• You are relying on your resume to generate interviews.  Huge mistake.  Employers and recruiters use resumes to screen people out.  Even if you are just trying to make a (strictly) lateral move and your age and other facts don’t cause you to be immediately screened out, your resume essentially just says:  “me too, only more” than other candidates whose resumes show the requisite qualifications for the open position.  

• You are marketing your experience as the basis for why your resume should survive the initial screening process, and then even if it does,  you will surely be asked a lot of “why” questions which put you in a defensive posture in interviews.  

• You are placing too much hope that the tactic of a summary at the top of your resume will “sell” your unique value and thus give you a big advantage over other candidates.  It might.  Anything’s possible, but it assumes that whatever “unique value” means - it will be a major factor in deciding to invite you to interviews.

• You believe that networking, networking, and more networking is the most effective way to land a new job.  Just how helpful it will be in a specific job search situation will no doubt vary. You would be prudent to not count too much on it - beyond gaining helpful information.

• You approach job hunting as basically a resume and networking problem.  It’s actually a solvable marketing problem.
