It is sad that a college education means squat now a days, but true. You need to know someone within.
Try this:
Contact the person who actually reads the resumes, develop a rapport, ask if you can send them your resume'... This way, it wont end up in a big pile of unsolicited, unneeded, unwanted resumes.
Fact: 90% of resumes never get read.

You may want to go to headhunters or some agency that looks for jobs for you. You may be qualified or overqualified but You may not be applying to the right places. People look at your resume for all of 5-10 seconds.

Pheonix is a retirement town also there is the college there. The weather is so hot in the summer time that a lot of people do not stay in Arizona in the summer. So they don't need that many people to work as they do in the winter time. I would say that it is a town where consulting is not needed there.

it's the new age/healthcare/wage discrimination
In his state of the union address, President Bush tried to sell the American public on the fact, that if we, as individuals, continue to build our Human Capital (such as education and skills); we would win as a nation at the game of economics musical chairs. I agree that many are able to win when playing under fair rules. economic policies are not always fair. The changing of the rules in mid game without telling the players is way too confusing. The numbers of chairs that are being taken away are too great and are eliminating the very means to support and build the human capital that would sustains the games continuance.
U.S. Census numbers show that 37 million or 12.7 percent of our nation is in poverty and 45.8 million, 15.7 percent are without medical coverage. Even if a percentage of these players were to build their personal Human Capital, increasing their desire and knowledge of the game there wouldn’t be enough chairs to prolong the play or sustain the economic game.
President Bush tries to indicates there are enough chairs/economic opportunities; pointing out a declined of the 1.8 million TANF (cash benefits) families, proclaiming Americans are becoming self sufficient.
Mr. President could these numbers be a reflection of the American households who are tried of playing and failing at the rigidly structured political and economic game with only poverty as the result, actually pulling out of the game all together out of frustration. Reserving what personal capital they have to survive until there is a better team builder that can lead them in a new version of the game?

It could be that Phoenix is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country and the job market is very competitive.
