I've never been able to take rejection well, as I have next to no self esteem. I am trying to just push it out of my mind but the nagging thought of "I'm really just terrible" keep coming back.

I have done the LinkedIn method to a degree, but for places that I have already applied to. I also mostly looked for recruiters as I feel rude sending it to big important people at those companies.

Don't waste your time with Bozo recruiters. You'll find Big Important People often very receptive if your direct approach is sincere and buttoned-up.
