Try local companies instead of the big outfits. Ones that are close to your school who might have a more community feel. Just get in the door and offer to shadow any member of the business team as there will be technology interspersed through their business.

Your work-experience does not have to directly connected to your intended degree. This is not required or preferred for any CS degree and a week pottering around a office is not going to be a game changer for any University application.
Get something/anything, and use the experience to look at what the work environment is like, how people communicate with each other, how day to day decisions are made etc. That is the valuable stuff.

Thank you for your advice i've applied to 12 so far in my local area but sadly I haven't heard back (Which I will follow up) or simply rejected.
