Need exit opportunity advice:

I am a senior in EY FAAS (CPA).

I have the opportunity to move into a hedge fund (~70 people). I’d be a middle office analyst which includes multiple functions including accounting, operations, and trade/derivative support.

I am not interested in a traditional accounting role which is why this role interests me. I’d get exposure to multiple functions and get to wear multiple hats.

I have been out of work for the past 6 months, and have flooded many email boxes - applied to more than 600 job posts, have been getting a call for an interview, but after my first call with the HR, recruiter or even hiring manager, I don't seem to get past that stage! Any advice on how to get past this?
