What do you do when you've created and sent out the "perfect" resume ... and nothing happens? No calls for an interview. No form letters in the mail. No feedback of any kind. If nothing is happening in your job search, remember the three "Re-s" and do the following:

• re-post your resume online on niche job boards
• re-examine and revise your resume;
• redouble your overall efforts.

1) Re-post your resume online.

If you've posted your resume to major Career Sites, you may notice a brief flurry of contacts early but a quick drop in the employers contacting you after just a few days. Why? Well with 30,000 new applicants a day on some boards, your name can't stay high on the list for long. The problem is even tougher if your background or skill set is more geared to a specific industry.

A better option may be to look for a job board like CareerTrip.com which targets your industry specifically. A smaller board focusing on just Interior Furnishings and Building Products industry's generally means less frustration and expense for employers. As well as fewer "generic" talent to weed through to get to you. This means you are much more likely to be seen.

• "Does my resume focus on a specific job or career path?" (You can't hit a target you don't aim at. Revise or remove anything that doesn't prove you're the best choice for the exact job you want.)
• "Does my resume contain errors in grammar, spelling, etc.?" (When in doubt, show your resume to at least two friends for proofreading.)
• "Is my resume concise and to-the-point?" (You won't bore anyone into hiring you. Limit yourself to two pages of tightly focused text.)
• As a last point consider the use of special Key Words. These are words that a potential employer would be searching for. Work these into the body of your Resume or even add a category called keywords.

When you re-examine your resume and revise accordingly, you can remove limitations that may have kept the phone from ringing.

3) Redouble your efforts.

Try to talk to at least three people every day about your job search, and ask them to pass your name along to anyone who might be able to help. This is incredibly powerful.

Here's why. Let's assume every person on earth knows at least 100 people (this is a conservative guess). By talking to 90 people this month, you'll expand your network of contacts to 9,000 pairs of eyes and ears ... or more. If that doesn't shorten your job search, nothing will!

Finally, remember that anything worth having is worth working for. If you keep the three "R's" in mind, you can make a fresh start today and jumpstart your job search.
