Part of the reason I don't like my job is because I don't like the direction (or the lack thereof) the company is headed. The folks up top seem to have their heads in the clouds, customers are walking out the door, and it's made me paranoid that it won't be long before we have another batch of job cuts. Being unemployed scares me and I've always tried my best to avoid being put in that situation.
As for the resumes, I've been following up. Unfortunately, the follow-ups get no response either, and they don't leave a direct phone so I can only send an email. Spell checking is a no-brainer. Everything is done in 12-point Times New Roman (bold where necessary). Cell phone is listed since that's the only way to contact me. Certifications, etc. are listed, military background is included in my job history, and instead of just saying "eight years, blah blah blah," I went the extra step and broke it down by which unit I served under and what I did while I was assigned there. I have separate resumes set up both ways between responsibilities/skills and skills/accomplishments, and depending on what kind of position it is, I'll send one or the other out.
Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll keep on searching and hope somebody gives me a call back.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
