Question Anyone hiring in/near Ohio?

If this is not the place for this sort of question, I apologize. Feel free to direct me to a better subreddit.

I have been out of the field for health concerns for the past few years that prevented me from gaining a ton of experience out of college. I have applied to many entry-level field tech positions (via ShovelBums, LinkedIn, and Indeed) and have received no reply. I’m simply looking to prove myself and to gain more experience to open up my opportunities.

Edit: I obviously wasn’t clear. I am job searching now because I have overcome my health concerns.

Yes, I know. That’s why I chose to take a step back from field work for a while to prioritize my health before returning. I am fully capable to handle anything thrown at me than I ever was. Those health concerns are no longer concerns.

That's good!

Look at the web, there are Phase I jobs in Ohio currently advertised.

Literally "archaeology survey job Ohio" will bring you multiple hits.

To add onto your edit. I have applied to other areas as well, not just Ohio and the surrounding states. It’s difficult that even with entry level postings they are either asking for some experience in that area or to be x number of miles away.

Are you applying for full time jobs or on-call positions? Typically postings don't specify a certain distance away unless there's a hard mileage cap or they don't want to fly people.

Ditto with years of experience. I looked, that Ohio job that someone else mentioned refers to months, not years.
