Trouble landing jobs/internships

Hi everyone, I’m relatively new here and would love some guidance/tips. Currently getting my MSF at a lower semi target school, have a good gpa but limited work experience. Didn’t exactly apply myself as much in undergrad as I am doing now so I’m playing catch up. However despite my best efforts it seems I am still stuck to the point where even bookkeeping and bank teller jobs are not ghosting me.

I have mainly focused on looking for jobs in AM and WM since I have ny SIE and Series 66 done. I’ve also taken the initiative to do the Wall Street Prep courses to broaden my skills.

Limited work experience is where it’s likely pulling me back. I did one internship at Bloomberg and had a brief role at a Hedge Fund as they needed some extra hands but only for a month.

I’ve done as much as I could in terms of networking (school alumni,friends of friends, family friends, etc.) but a lot of times, even through referrals I either get rejected or the person may no longer respond.

If anyone is able to give dome help and tell me what I may be doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it.
