Raymond James - Equity Research Full Time Associate Program - How to get Accepted?

Hello,

I have a MS from a non target school, however I I have demonstrated my interest in equity research/related financial fields by enrolling in the CFA.

In addition, I have added several finance badges on Coursera offered by UPenn, but not sure how much they help in landing a competitive finance job.

My LinkedIn profile: Michael DaSilva DePaul (can't add direct link)

Looking for development programs for recent grads as an equity research associate, investment analyst, and/or IB associate.

I have applied to numerous financial firms and included LinkedIn networking, addressing networking & CFA enrollment in my cover letter, but haven't landed any interviews yet.

Thank you for help/feedback.
