Tree service is so fascinating and brings so much passion out of me. However companies aren't hiring in my area. Drove two hours to work for a company outside my local area at the entry level, but due to expenses and complications I had to give notice.

I study hard, mostly ISA material, have built up my own kit to practice techniques and methods in a controlled and low risk environment. But self study is no replacement to proper experience and mentorship, especially to perform at a high level in this profession.

Looking for advice on how to make the best out of my self study, or how to make my resume more attractive to employers. University programs, trainings, and certifications that don't require prior work experience. Should I ask for an unpaid internship? Move to a new area? What did your career growth and start look like, and how can I use that information to help mine?
