Location could very well be a factor. But personally I think it's probably much more that you are using those search engines. While we think they are great, there are a few major problems:
1) Half the time, they don't really get checked
2) When they do get checked, they have hundreds and hundreds of submissions for the same job.
You are much better off going through a headhunter or a position you see listed in the paper with an exact person/address to send your info to. Or, if you see something on a Monster-type site, try to find the company's address/phone number and send it directly to someone there.
Good luck!
