I read the article and really appreciate. However, i am bit worried and try all my level best to make sure that my profile is updated. keep check the right jobs and apply.
still can you suggest what can i do better to get a job asap.
I am also one of the unfortunate people who lost the job and its really hard to manage day to day. I have all the necessary equipments to complete the job I specialize in.

Write a customized cover letter mentioning how you are different from others and why you fit the most for the particular job.
Best Wishes,
Pothi.

Pothi is right in stressing the importance of cover letters.
This being a "faceless"marketplace, your only chance of grabbing the buyer's 4 secs is with a forceful opening (but not arrogant).. and with a promising conclusion ( but not desperate)
All the best
