If you are unable to find something through your parents/their friends or your friends parents probably should ask for the career advisers help.They would probably understand given the fact you have tried to contact many organisations already. Also, accounting/financial firms may well be busy given that EOFY has recently happened so people are busy preparing financial reports etc.

okay but idk in my situation since i feel a bit bad for being so unorganised and still asking for so much help from him, he gave me a one month extension (til august 1) and i already asked him to give one of the unis a call (which was supposed to be successful but the professor never replied to my email after my advisor had a chat with him) do you think he'll be okay with me asking for more help?

Yeah of course, he should be fine with it. Your careers advisor is there to help you in the first place.

I'd say alot of firms are probably a bit more careful nowadays since work exp offers negligible benefits in the short term but is full of risk for them. I did work exp at a big 4 firm back in my time thanks to my neighbour being a partner but I don't think that would happen again in this day and age!
