I did sort of right to ronnie specifically when he commented about his friends lack of involvement and my point to be the one making contact. Not a right or wrong thing but a get me a job thing. I know where you are coming from... been there.
My most important point to you is you may be doing everything right, but there are variable beyond your control, timing... too many candidates... better and not so better.. Just keep doing... There is a job for you.
The overqualified only comes into play when a there is a huge significance in jobs and applicants.
The keyword thing may be more industry specific... computers especially... you know where employer wants: JAVA, ORACLE, HTML. those things stick out on a resume... If they dont and that the skill set sought then this person is toast.
60 is a good start...
2014 and no more Econolines made... market blunder. The last new 2014 econoline to go to a vanner - DEADLAST How many mid ford vans can 1 man own? Don't ask stupid questions... My chopped mid ford will be painted black till they make a darker color. Grind to Grind... Hot metal will abound the land... IceAge II 'The MeltDown' My 3D printer will produce a life size 1969 mid ford in 2031... Wait and see...

Also look for other using search engines. In NJ the state has a web site for jobs from what I remember.... Note this is not a site for state jobs, but the state helping businesses to advertize they have jobs. May be 1 in your state... just saying more than those 2... companies web sites...
If you cant find a job create 1, there were more small business startups last year than during the dot com days. Most were created by women... There should be small business loans... If money becomes available. Isnt everyone tired of working for corporate america where these guys cant run a business. I know I am. The computer is your word of mouth, advertiser, deal maker. UPS and fed ex and US post deliver... 2/3 of the problem solved... just need a product? simple? right?
Now is your opportunity to try everything... see what clicks... adjust...

That's a lot to back up, but it did make the first cut because I wanted to read more to see if possibly he could walk it like he could talk it.
