    "The really scary thing is that these are (suppositely) smart, educated people. Why then do they act like a bunch of scared school children then? I just don't get it.

    When ever you post to online resume services be sure to include key words. Most companies have programs run through the resumes for specific keywords and throw out the rest. So when applying to a job online just add a bunch of keywords at the bottom of the resume that correspond to the job description. It will atleast get you past the first stage.
