Job hunting on a Monday morning

My plan for today was to aggressively apply for a job. I was thinking about of some extraordinary actions, like calling someone up just before office hours or visit the office uninvited. Last night it seemed like the only thing to do, but in the morning it felt rather unprofessional.

I woke up and blew my nose so strongly so my ear became totally blocked. Not that I've got a cold, rather this mysterious allergic thing. Now it was even more difficult to make this important call to a potential employer. Imagining saying "Sorry, could you please repeat..." over and over again, not the perfect scenario when trying to make a good impression.

Then my eye was caught by one of my first personal letters I had written. OMG, I fully understand why they didn't bother to call me for an interview! At that time I didn't even realize that a personal letter and a cv are two different items....

Today I didn't have any self confidence whatsoever. I remembered when I almost got a new job once, in the Big Company, but it was suddenly stopped by some mysterious upper management decision. Didn't that happen several times, actually? It had probably nothing to do with my cv or the first impression ...

OK, now. How to improve my self confidence?
The positive affirmations I came up with sounded like terrible lies!
I read a very nice mail from a former colleague. But did he really know me well? Maybe he is the type of person that appreciates everybody?

Well, in the end, I managed to copy and paste and put together both a personal mail and a cv based on earlier versions and posted it. Great!

Do I need to call up as well? Just now? Are Mondays really good days to receive calls..?
