This shithole screwed me so hard that I can't even afford a studio in a non dangerous part of town despite working full time and earning 12/hr. A better job would let me do that but I get fucked over no matter what I do.
So my question is, how feasible is it to find jobs out of state with only work experience for a big name company? I have enough tech knowledge to get A+ and cisco certs if I can have them paid for, but I never get a chance to even demonstrate it.
There is a reason you aren't getting jobs and it's unlikely that your current job is the reason. You need to make a new game plan.
It's just as easy to get a job in another place unless you live in some rural shit hole.

Take you Cisco certs it'll help you get a job. Test is like CCNA or CCNP or some shit like that if its networking. It's like 300$ or something like that. Save the money up and do it. I'm sure you can cut back on something and save enough money

It does kind of limit my options because I work a weird schedule and have trouble being able to get off for interviews. I'm not blaming the job for not being able to find a different one, if anything the company is why I'm getting so many call backs for applications. The issue is that I can't even get an in person interview because of some unknown reason. I don't bullshit the HR people, I tell them that I want a more challenging job and that I was able to do everything they list in the job listing which is true. I don't know if I'm just not using magical buzzwords or what.

Nvm I misread your post. I feel like the reason is purely because my state has a third world country economy and the competition for the low amount of tech positions is incredibly fierce.
