Coming upto a year since I finished business school, No job!

Finished Business School school last July, have done now close to 80 decent applications, with no avail. I haven't had much success in getting into IB/Asset Management/ and I've pretty much saturated the current grad job market with my applications. I have been applying to both grad and intern level schemes. I've had my CV checked and improved by the BSchool Careers team, had all my covering letters checked before submitting etc, but just no luck at all with getting an interview. What can I do now?
