How to get SA interviews in London?

Hi everyone, I am a student from French semi-target business school and is going to apply for 2025 SA in London, can anyone share with me how to get the interview of SA? Last year I applied for 20 banks and boutiques, but got nothing after completing hirevue. My background is audit + valuation internship in big four and this year I did another M&A internship, should I network with them and ask for reference?
