Home Based Business Resume

Question: How many times should I call someone to check my resume/application to get an interview?
I keep calling a naval museum about a position I'm interested in; met all the qualifications, my resume's been looked at by a career counselor, etc.
I passed the first interview with a supervisor; now I need to get a second one with HIS boss. I've been calling for several weeks (about 3 months or so). Should I continue to bug the crap out of these guys?
Likewise with similar jobs, how long would it take me to call someone before I am granted an interview? Does calling them once a week help anything? I understand that they are busy and such; it's just that I would like a job that would help put me through a master's degree program.
At the moment, this is getting QUITE FRUSTRATING and I feel like I should give up and start some crappy home-based business.
Any advice?
Answer: Okay - for a start you are going about it all hella wrong. I find it all too easy to do most anything over the telephone - I'm a mere Clarke Kent before i pick it up.. 
Hey - it's way too easy to say no to someone over the phone. It's also too easy to make the call. Go to the place - get to know someone in personnel - know them well, talk about the weather, sport, all the tedious stuff. Big smiles. Get to know this person over a couple of visits, then keep the visits going till you land the job. It is a foolproof method of getting a job. You need not even be qualified some of the time. It's always worked for me and have always landed the jobs I want - staying there is my issue.. Good luck - and front up!
