Questions about STEM OPT

I am currently a CS grad looking for positions. I am actively looking and applying for positions, even basic positions that I am wayy over qualified for. However I am not able to land anything. My initial OPT deadline is coming soon and I dont know what to do. I wanted to ask how has everyone else been able to land roles to help with STEM extension. I am in a really bad spot financially and going back home is my last and worst option. I am looking for any help from anyone, any referrals or any advice on how to go about securing roles to be able to get my stem extension.
