good advice, y'all ... and in truth; I'm just bitchin' - I know never to wait for the phone to ring, and never to ask and wait for them to get back to me ... I know even when you get through and they like what they hear, they still won;t call you back ... You gotta beat the f*ckin' door down for every single small gain - that's all I'm bitchin' about.

And I know there's good reason too. I know these poor bastards are swamped with 100 others like me tryin' to get passed their door. They end up workin' a path that says "better the devil that you know ..." so I until I push my way into being that devil, I ain't goin' anywhere!

The good news is though, once I get in, it's easier to stay in!

This really is an aspect of the job I dislike, though.
