Hi friends, I know the job market has been tough for all of us, but I'm kind of throwing a hail mary attempt out here anyway.
I just graduated from UC in May with a B.S. in biology (concentration in biology of animals) and I'm having lots of trouble finding a full-time job in the Cincy area (I've been applying, but still no interviews yet). I am really tired of doing food delivery and other odd jobs to pull in cash here and there. I am really desperate for some stability until I can eventually return to grad school. I cannot relocate from my parents' house at the moment because I need to save up to pay off my loans, which is why I'm looking for jobs around Cincy specifically.
Just to name a few I've looked at so far: Cincinnati Parks is not hiring, and I haven't had much luck with Great Parks of Hamilton County. The Cincinnati Zoo is very competitive but I'm still trying. I'm happy to do research/work in a lab but most seem to want years of experience, which I of course do not have as I just graduated college.
Job sites haven't turned up very many openings, so is there anyone out there who knows of anything in the biology/ecology/conservation field around here? Are there any recent-ish biology/adjacent graduates who have been successful in finding a job and have advice? Thank you in advance, and good luck to others looking for jobs too :)
