How screwed am I...? - Applying to finance related jobs

So I've been applying to finance related jobs the past few weeks (analyst, GWM, AM, etc) and I haven't heard back from a single company.

Is there something wrong with my resume? Graduating next month and I'd like to have a job before I graduate so I need as much help as I can get

Your likelihood of success applying to jobs online is minimal due to your low GPA. You will need to change your approach. Reach out to alumni who are at firms you are interested in and cold call, cold call, cold call (Don't email). Try to create a connection with someone and see if you can set up an informational interview, etc.

To be honest, I have a feel it's going to be an uphill struggle for you. You might want to consider either pursuing a graduate program (master's) or delaying graduation.
