Part Time Jobs

I've recently been trying to get a part-time job but when I apply I'm being told I don't have enough experience or are not outgoing enough. These are sales/hospitality jobs which are the main sector where I live and I feel as though I've hit a wall and won't be able to get a job by the time I go to uni in September, does anyone have any advice on how I can improve or where I can find other jobs outside of the above sector.

Fast food places, such as mcdonalds take on a lot of students. They are worth a try. I used to work for mcdonalds myself.

Are you planning on telling your employer that you can only work till September? Can’t find any summer only jobs, there are only part time
