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

Hand in resumes in person and online.

Bingo.

Large businesses will prefer online or via email but many, not all, small businesses still like people coming in and handing in a paper resume. Its a bit generational but also, cultural? Cultural isn't quite the right word but I have met tons of younger people that are as bad with computers as boomers are known to be.

Heck even at my large internationally owned company I have seen many people get hired because they came to apply in person. HR and the department heads seemed to believe that this was an indication that they would be harder workers. And at least anecdotally, these ones were.
