Off Cycles. Am I Fucked?

Hey, I did a summer internship at a MM in S&T last year in the UK. It was a small regional office and the reason I was given for not getting the return offer was headcount. I loved the role so was very disappointed to not receive an offer. 

My question is about next steps. I have been applying to London roles in S&T, asset management and equity research but haven't been offered any interviews.

I'm thinking that I'll have to do an off-cycle after I graduate this May. How should I approach getting one? Do I need to send networking emails/LinkedIn requests etc.? 

I have a 1.1 expected from a target, the S&T internship and 2 corp finance internships.

Very unsure of how to approach this after receiving no interviews for the grad roles - any advice would be appreciated!
