How to find a job

Hello! I’m a newly licensed funeral director with about 3 years of experience in the industry. I’m currently employed by a small town funeral home and I’m looking to move to a larger city however, I’m struggling to find a job. There are minimal job postings on virtual job boards and when I do apply I have been rejected because I don’t have enough experience. I have tried cold calling to talk to someone about potential job opportunities and I get sent to voicemail, the answering service, or am told my information will be passed on to the manager. I never receive a call back.

I know I’ve heard a lot of funeral directors complaining about being understaffed. However, now as I’m looking for a job, no one wants to give me the time of day. What am I missing here?
