Susan,
PATIENCE !!
The time frame brtween the initial post and your most recent is only 2 weeks!!
There are many factors that could be hampering you also that need to be mentioned.
There is a HUGE impact on getting considered/ hired based on how much info or detail you are presenting about yourself...and also in how the restrictions are explained to name a couple of things to look at
I hope that you are not getting into details as you did here??
I haven't the time now to go into more detail, but wanted to throw this point out to you.
