*assuming you are baseline qualified (not in Audit like your acc says) and aren't doing stupid stuff like blowing basic technicals*

If they're all rejecting you it's probably some combination of something you're doing and bad timing hire wise (perhaps more pronounced now than is typical). Pretty pointless to look for advice from anyone if they know nothing about your background, target role, etc. Have you asked for feedback from any of these processes and gotten ideas about what you were dinged for?
