My SO graduated a year ago at the top of his class from the St. Louis community college Funeral directors program. Since then he has been looking for an apprenticship in Missouri, but no one seems to be hiring! He is getting frustrated since he spent all this time/money going into a field that is supposed to be experiancing a shortage at the moment, but he can't find a anything. Does anyone have any advice on how to:
A. Find an apprentiship
B. Sell himself so that they hire him over the other applicants.
C. Find websites/magazines/etc on how to break into the industry
I know he's doing all he can at the moment (sending out resume's....calling funeral homes...using the college to help look) but I feel like there has to be something else he can do. He would like to be hired before Christmas. He is getting to the point where he is considering going back to school for another degree, but he and I both know this is what he really wants to do with his life.
