Although I agree with this statement, I am not certain it maybe it has something to do with I am not done my degree till the end of the month, but I have already been applying for a few months (preemptively of course) to no avail. Also as you have said, regardless of the listed experience I apply, it just hasn't translated into anything yet.

I am wondering if I should do what many of my friends haven't, as most employers seem to direct potential employees through a online application system, and just disregard them stating that and march down there with my cover letter and my resume and demand to speak to someone in either a HR capacity, or someone who can help me.

Most discussions of this kind of topic online seem to go back to the "try and try again" methodology, but as steemit seems to have a lot of creative ideas I was hoping for something that worked for someone in particular. Even if its not a universal method.
