Did you do your own resume? If so, you might need some help with it.

One of my professors last semester helped me work on it. I've gotten a few calls and phone interviews, but they never follow up with a face to face interview.
 
The 50 jobs in the last 6 months probably hurts your chances of getting hired.

Just two. UPS and Academy. Ultimately, my back was keeping me from doing either one of them. Both were freight jobs. It isn't easy to find a job that lets me sit down when I'm just in community college.

You might want to go to your local unemployment office, or whatever they're called now, and tell them you would like some help with your resume. They have people there that are very good at this. One killer, if you are young or old, is listing dates on the resume. Anything that will give a clue as to your age.

I went to the unemployment office when I first got out of the AF. Them SOB's can get anybody a job.

I may do that. Right now, mine just says where I've worked and where I've gone to school. I put dates on the schools, but not on the jobs. Don't want it to seem like I was just job hopping.

Leave the dates off the school, too. Whomever you talk to at the UE office should tell you the same.
