The most qualified person doesn't always get the
job--including personnel manager! But keeping that
in mind, maybe you are trying to get your foot in
the wrong door.
Try to cultivate a personal relationship with a
director or two--or even better, an active
benefactor who will give you a recommendation.
With that in hand, your resume may become of
secondary importance. It may seem shabby to resort
to politics to finally land a job you are clearly
qualified for, but it is a political world out
there...isn't it?
