Graduate schemes 2025/2026

I am in the process of applying for graduate schemes. I graduated with a 2:1 in actuarial science this summer and have ABB in a-levels (B in maths).

Though I don’t have an actual actuarial internship, I have other relevant work experience and I have volunteering/ uni societies down on my cv.

I’m finding that I’m being rejected for almost every job I apply for, I’m not really sure why and it’s becoming discouraging. My cv was checked by multiple people including an actuary so I’m hoping it isn’t the cv. I am worried that it is my a level grade that is the reason. I have heard that this year is very competitive also, is anyone else finding this the same?
