Your Resume Will Remain on File

With 22 applications out there and only hits from this agency since January, I figure something is wrong with my approach. Make something of these phrases: "Nothing wrong with your personality," and "more senior level," and "keep you in mind."
Some applications are for non-existent posts at target companies, say, proofreading marketing collateral at this fast-casual joint or this major marketing firm, for example. Freelancers have to prospect. Hmmm, remind me to make those follow up calls next week.
Since the authors of advertised job posts, for which I am amply qualified, return nada by way of my submitted applications, I send for help.
I start with a resume consultation. This results in a resume redesign here that I offer up for critique—thanks all.
