I had a very hard time getting interviews for the longest time. It turned out that the main problem was my LaTeX PDF resume and the class file I had made for it. The automatic parsers attached to every online application had a very hard time extracting the information appropriately, and I believe as a consequence that that information never made it to hiring managers' eyeballs.
If submitting to online applications, either use a very simply formatted LaTeX class file or do it in Word. Everything reads Word now, since it's basically fancy XML.
