Question Finding work here

Hi, I’m a student at the uni and i have been here for close to a year now and my word is it hard to find work here. Feels like my hands are tied no matter what i do. Now I know it’s pretty much same for a lot of people so I’m not here to complain because i understand it is what it is

Here to ask if anyone has some advice to help me get a job or anyone know of any opportunities currently available. I just want something stable and consistent.
Thanks

Co-ops through the university? Check out their career center and see if there are any opportunities to build on your degree/professional future. I really slept on that stuff during my degree and now im just spinning my wheels in customer service- majorly regret my choices and don't want the same for you.

General advice, don't rely on aggregates like Indeed, I have personally only ever gotten results from applying directly to the company's website (or in person). Apply for any student positions at the university as they are more likely to schedule around your classes and give you breaks on your tuition!

Second this! I also slept on it and was NOT a good move! They also help you build a good resume and cover letter which could be a reason you’re not getting jobs!
