Once years ago I went to a print shop to get copies of my resume done, this was back before the Internet, when you had to submit a resume physically. Anyways, the print shop left a copy of my resume in the copy machine after my order was done. The owner of the shop came in about 30 minutes later and found my resume in it, and called me and offered me a delivery job there.

when looking for a job, your job is too get a job, I know it cant be scary, I've been there, but you got to keep moving forward and looking, when your looking for a job, it shouldn't not be a secret. you should be telling everyone "I'm looking for a job", keep resumes in your car, just in case you need one, being out of work shouldn't be embarrassing, everyone has been there. when you get an interview, realize something, The interviewer knows based on your resume that you can do the job, because they don't have time to interview everyone that turned in a resume, your job in the interview is too show the interviewer who you are, show them you are easy to talk to, that you aren't going to be a bad employee, that you are the best person for the job, If you get nervous about interviews, just treat it like you meeting a new friend, I personally do my best to carry the conversation, I do most of the talking, and I do that because I love meeting people and also I don't want them to ask me a question that I cant answer correctly. Remember your just meeting a new friend and relax. very important, have a friend or family mock interview you, you will be surprised how well you interview when you practice. Good Luck.
