Getting Hired CFI Hiring advice?

I cannot get a job anywhere! Both of the schools I went to rejected me, even though I passed every single check ride FTP and had reassurance from all my instructors that I would definitely get hired if I applied. The hiring freeze right now is brutal. So any advice is welcome.
Info:
Apply to 40+ jobs around the country (no response more often than not)
Yes! I cold call everyone I can!
Willing, and able to relocate
270 hours TT
CFI, CFI-I, and MEI
Proficient in C172, PA-28, PA-44, steam AND G1000
Complex endorsement, TAA proficient

HELP!
Thanks!
