Do you have a friend you can call and 'practice' a cold call? I belong to a couple professional associations that makes networking easier for me--and for the most part, everyone's real nice. I remember how much anxiety I had going back to the job I took a leave from during my 'breakdown' and hospitalization--I'm with you, babe. It's not easy. I just kept telling myself, "I can do this."

What's the worst that can happen? You don't get the job, so then it wasn't meant to be; what it was meant to be was a practice experience.
