At this point the formal submission process is designed to filter out applicants.

I think you need to find ways to get introduced to the hiring manager or have someone put your resume in the hiring manager's hands.

You should also consider remixing the skills and accomplishments you have in your "box of LEGOs" and exploring other possible careers that would leverage his talents and experience.

Honestly, I have gone like 6-9 months unemployed in the past. Fingers crossed that it won't take as long this time, at least.
