Picking up shifts in a unskilled post is fine for bringing in some cash (and perhaps necessary.)
But your full-time job right now is to get a job in your field (which at this point in your career means "tech".) You might start in support, or testing, or something like that, but you want to get your foot in the door.
Naturally there are a LOT of people in the market right now, so you want to stand out from the crowd. If you understand that this is primarily an exercise in marketing and not tech, then you'll be on your way. To get a job you "sell yourself", so you can't just rely on a CV.
Be creative. Be bold. Be proficient (in that order). Convince "me" (ie an employer) that this is the best opportunity they have. Stand out from the crowd.

Good luck.
