What jobs look best before applying for ramp agent positions?

I’m trying to eventually become an aircraft mechanic and I’m currently in an aircraft maintenance college program.
I applied for ramp agent jobs recently but got rejected, so I’m planning to work full-time for a few months and reapply later.
What entry-level jobs look best on a resume for ramp/airport work?
I was thinking:

warehouse work

moving company jobs

airport contractor jobs

logistics/loading jobs

Would being in an aircraft maintenance program help my chances too, or do airlines mostly just care about work experience for entry-level ramp jobs?

What entry-level jobs look best on a resume for getting into ramp/airport work?

I’m trying to get into ramp agent / airport ground handling work and eventually move into an airline aircraft mechanic path.
I recently applied for ramp positions but got rejected, so I’m planning to work full-time for the next few months to build experience and reapply.
My question is:
What types of entry-level full-time jobs actually look the best on a resume for getting into ramp/airport jobs?
I’m considering things like:
warehouse work (UPS/FedEx/Amazon type)
moving company jobs (physical labor)
retail stock / fast-paced labor jobs
janitorial / facilities work
or anything similar that builds relevant experience
I’m mainly trying to figure out what actually translates best to being hired by airlines or airport contractors.
Also, I’m currently in a college program for aircraft maintenance. Would that actually help my chances when I reapply for ramp positions, or does it not really matter for entry-level airport jobs?
Would appreciate any advice from people in aviation or ramp work.
