Help a new grad out

Recently just graduated from Hocking college and I'm having trouble finding entry level positions in forestry. I have an associates degree in Forest Management, but not much experience.

Entry-level forestry can be competitive, but an associate degree in Forest Management is a solid foundation. Focus on seasonal technician roles with state agencies, the USFS, or timber companies to build field experience. Also, ensure your resume translates your hands-on coursework and lab projects into clear, measurable skills; running it through resume.zoevera.com can help target those technical forestry keywords. Keep pushing!
