IMO, there's nothing more nerve-wracking than cold-calling a list of people you hope one of who will be your future boss.

Yet, it's a bit disappointing getting voicemail after voicemail, feeling you're putting off for another day that first bit of real contact that might get you in the door.

That's what I did yesterday! :-) I was calling the places to which I sent the packets (5 total, this round) to speak with the managing editors to let them know I'm interested and that the packet is on the way. I didn't get any "real people," but for the moment I'm content with the "heads up" and will bother them again when they've had time to check the mail. (Tho see today's post for how fast the turnaround can be.)
