Went from guessing at job postings to 3 interviews in 2 weeks, here is what changed

For the first two weeks of my job hunt I was applying to anything with a title that sounded close to my old one, and I got zero replies out of about 40 applications. Then a guy I used to work with looked at my resume and told me I was listing duties instead of results, so I rewrote it to say things like cut repair callbacks by half. I also stopped applying to postings older than a week, since those are usually already filled. In the next 14 days I got 3 interview requests. Curious if the posting age thing is real or if I just got lucky with timing.
