Downsized and looking for a job. Help appreciated

[deadbody]

The company I worked for decided that since sales were down about 35% from 2005 (2006 sucked and 2007 was not starting out much better), my position (bookkeeper) was superflous, and I was let go on Valentines Day. I've filed for unemployment, but I have to wait a couple weeks for that, and I'm trying like hell to get a job before then.

Before the bookkeeping gig I was in Management for a bank, and retail management. I've sent out like 30 resumes in the last week in response to job postings on monster.com and craigslist, and hotjobs.com etc... I don't want to go back into the bookkeeping thing because it was boring and I like working with the masses.

OOT, what else can I be doing to get a job, my wife doesn't work (although she will start soon if I don't get a job, the mortgage still needs to be paid, and I have 2 kids I won't put in a position of not having money for the things they need). What am I missing, I've gotten no response from the resumes I've sent, and they aren't just mass mailing, they are targetted to job openings that have ben advertised.

OOT please give me some more ideas.
