Hey Anthony. Unfortunately, job hunting like you are doing is not the best approach... The best positions are not filled this way...
I feel sad that you are not interested in personal projects. Those are the ones that will get you the best jobs! The fact that they don't show up in job interviews is irrelevant: they will get you the best interviews, to begin with!
The best positions are filled from people that are trusted before the position is even available.
And YOU can create this trust for yourself.
Personal projects, blogs, videos, presentations, participating in open source projects, networking on user groups: those are some of the ways you can create trust.
My suggestion is that you spend most of your time focusing on doing the great things that will make you a trustworthy developer. That way, you won't have to "shake those bad feelings". On the contrary, those are fun things to do, and the ones that work!
To help you out, I even wrote a book about it, explaining the real process of getting the best jobs. You can get it on Amazon, or get a free PDF version.
Good luck!
