Actually I agreed with quite a few of the comments (e.g., your 
suggestion that I remove the ancient history from my CV).

Given the spectacular lack of success I've experienced during the course 
of my entire career - nay, my entire *life* - I guess that's not so 
surprising, eh?

I take your point. It's just rather hard to believe something when all 
the available evidence consistently points to the contrary. Even if, 
rationally, you know the available evidence is somewhat skewed.

Still, you'd think that a huge, well-known company like Google or Nokia 
would constantly have far more applicants than they know what to do 
with. It is most unlikely that *I* would be the best of the entire pack.
