No new interviews yet. DH is still sending out resumes. It's only been a week but it seems like an eternity.
The one interview he did have last week resulted with a call back to the interview guy, who tells DH his computer crashed, but is now fixed, and "please resend your resume". The guy had a copy that DH took to him for the interview. This prospect is not looking so hot, which is depressing. Statistically, I know it takes more than one job interview to land a job. I'm just blah about it today.
He is journaling his contacts and resumes sent for follow-up purposes. The best remedy for the blahs is to be proactive. Again, "keep on truckin'".

It sounds like it's in NEED of EXTREME MAKEOVER.
If DH is sending the resume "broadcast" style there is high possibility it's a one size fit's all document, equally bad if it's taken from a Microsoft word document or worst swiped from a template on line.
DH needs to consider revising the objective on the resume pack full of accomplishments as that is the firs thing that is read...
And make sure that all items on the resume are relevant to the position DH is going for (You don't have to list all of your experience).
Best,
