Do you have your profile on www.linkedin.com Mark? I have probably gotten 10-15 interview requests from them over the past two years. Also I'd recommend joining any active professional association focused on accounting, and attend the conferences. Also, get in touch with some contracting firms for your specialty and get to know them.
Last, dude you *must* rewrite that resume. I can't tell what you are looking for, or really what you have done. Suggestions: 1. Put a well written summary of accomplishments at the top, bullet points of actual accomplishments; for example, "saved 10M in operating costs by reorienting back-office processes" vs. "Work diligently and successfully at all projects". 2. Move education credentials to the bottom. 3. Consider eliminating some of the short term and unrelated positions from your rez. Its not a reference work, its a marketing document. 4. Last, guaranteed a good hiring manager is going to look up any website you reference (I always do) and the spiritual orientation just doesn't play well in business, especially in finance. Consider buying a domain name for $20 and building your own dedicated career website. 5. Check KITlist for jobs. Mostly focused on the SF Bay Area, but as great source for jobs that don't get posted anywhere else. I've been in tech for years and due to my specialty (tech training mgmt.) being often last hired/first laid off, I have learned that networking and a polished on-line identity is the only way to stay in the game. I didn't pay much attention to all of this before 9/11/2001, but then the dot com implosion hit and I began building what is now a pretty robust and successful network. I was recently hired for a long term contract as a result.
