This was for my first job out of college. I just chalked it up to only having three internships and no real work experience. For jobs I found especially interesting I would adjust resume headings and the contents of my cover letter. The financial analyst market in LA is quite saturated, evidently, and people would rather hire MBAs with no experience than undergrads. The other problem was that many firms' HR departments do not understand the difference between "financial analyst" and "accountant," which is significant. Most of the interviews came from younger tech firms, which were more lenient (and also willing to hire less experienced individuals due to budget constraints).
