Did anyone feel any animosity toward their workplace for they way they treated you when looking for your first job?!

I know I just feel foolish doing it I really need some practice....in the restaurant industry it was easy for me to get jobs, but i guess after 1 yr of RN'ing it will be easy again. I am so not a timid person, but I am when it comes to HR people I shy away from them big time!

So I feel crazy uncomfortable calling the HR departments. I know they do not want to talk to me and they make it obvious when I call. What is a trick to get over this fear?!?! I freeze up when I call and 90% of the time I get transfered to voicemail where I am like "Ugh, My name is YADAYADA, and I am following up on my application, I'd appreciate a call at ###-###-####" That's about how it goes! And I cannot get a job Bartending because I know in my heart that I will be quiting sooner than later and I think that would be unfair to them I have been in the bar industry for 12 years and I know how hard it is to get good help that of which I am.

Hey guy, I am a new grad and having a heck of a time finding my first job. I have recently in the last month moved to a big city because there are more jobs here then in the small town in which I came from. I have networked, attended church, gone to the gym, volunteered at multiple places, and nothing seems to work. My resume is immaculate as is my cover letter, but still I donot even receive interviews. What am I doing wrong? I am this close to go back to bartending and leave this four year education in my dust!
