Similar to what Mike said:

I'm not in IT but our US operations have been relocated to our site in Piscataway. Can also give a "push"

How come you're not on that page as a "day in the life" profile? Still looking for your red stapler?

Once you establish your daily routine, you can get it down to a couple 3 -4 hours a day...
- Establish your set list of job search websites, after your initial search (which is the most time consuming), each day, as you check them, you will only review the latest.
- Setting up a report of all the places you applied also take some time to setup, adding to it daily becomes less time consuming
- Establishing contacts at head hunter agencies and reps takes some up front time investment, then after that it's regular check-ins
- The constant modification of the resume and cover letters can be time consuming.
- Following up with all your applications can be quick as these are one liners
- The interview process can be insane depending on the company. Some companies put your through a rigorous interview day or multiple interview sessions. Sometimes they can suck up an entire day or multiple days.
- Scheduling and coordinating times to do interviews is tough, you become "on call"
Keep at it, you'll get something - the market is plentiful with IT infrastructure jobs.

Holy shit, that all sounds so draining. Here is my suggestion. It worked for me:
1. Spend a full day on your LinkedIn page. This includes researching ex-coworkers, people in the industry, etc.
2. Maybe put a pic of yourself looking professional
3. Add that you will do contract work
4. Go ride bike until someone calls you
In this day and age, being a contractor is the way to go. There is little risk for anyone, as the recruiter tries to screen you and then tries to place you. You will need to get a good relationship with the recruiter if/when they call you. This is of monumental importance. I cannot stress how often the recruiter and the companies work very closely together. If the recruiter likes you they will push to get you in and that's a huge hurdle.
Sometimes there is a phone interview involved but I would call that a screening. The beauty of being a contractor is that they hire you with the full knowledge that they can kick your ass out the door if you suck. That brings me to point 5 in my list:
5. Don't suck.
It all works out from there. If you are good they will offer you a job. If you know you are good you won't accept it. You'll let the recruiter know they want to hire you then they may offer to pay you more and try to place you in better positions.

Thanks for your input guys
I do bike a lot now, that's the best part.
I keep applying every day for some jobs I find.
I had one good call today that lasted 40 minutes so I 'm hoping. That is direct hire and looks like perfect match.
Other than that I'm hopeful, eventually something will come up.

Reach out to former colleagues and ask for a few endorsements.
ALSO, the is a way to add "Advice for Contacting" on your profile. Put your email address there so recruiters can just shoot you an email without using an "InMail" credit. You can even put a phone number there if you want.
An example is at the bottom of my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-lupus-05a64249

I agree with this. And this is why recruiters don't contact me.
