Hey Logan,
It seems to me that you are keeping yourself pretty busy and doing all the right things. I think the only other thing I would suggest would be for you to become active with the local chapter of ASLA. Your time will be spent helping the profession, and I found it to be very rewarding at a personal level. You will be surrounded by LA’s, and often times by the principals of the firms themselves. And the next time they look at your resume, they may see it in a diferent light.
I volunteered with the GAASLA while living in Atlanta, and although I did not get a job out of the contacts I made, I was surprised at how quickly I got to know the ‘important’ LA’s in the State personally, and at how quickly they recognized and remembered me!
Anyway, just a suggestion. Good luck with the hunt!
