I've found 9-10 won't help you out - they don't know you - but there is always some who are willing to help a persistent guy out.
I haven't had an invite, but through this I know I have had my app reviewed.
Good luck, you aren't alone. Every day I wonder what gives. Especially when we see others around with similar quals getting an invite and we are doing all we know to do. It's just the way it is, but hopefully they do pay attention to persistence and maybe give guys that are a shot - eventually.
It has ever been thus....I've meet loads of guys with all the squares filled not called or turned down, in all kinds of hiring cycles. We had guys in my Reserve unit with multiple offers and guys with similar backgrounds and contacts always a bride's maid.
