My philosophy is to "hit them where they aint" and make a job instead of trying to beat out hordes chasing down the same ones. One summer at uni I couldn't find a job and started a painting biz. These days with Youtube you can learn to do almost anything. Once you've run your own small thing the big employers like that and you stand out from the crowd. In the meantime network with friends, peers since they might know of opportunities somewhere. Just don't be insecure about doing your own thing. Lots of people do well without even knowing what they are doing at first. Intending to do good work and be fair sets the stage for serendipity
