I haven't had any bites, and its complicated by the fact that I am looking for jobs 2000 miles away. Its hard to stay positive and keep going when no one writes back.

I didn't get any calls back for jobs when I was moving to VA from OH until I started putting my future local (VA) address on my resume. Then I got more attention. Many places that are not willing to pay for your relocation will not reply to a non-local applicant. Why should they invest their time in you only to find that you are not relocating after all?
