Not getting OAs?

I'm a third-year EEE student at UCL and I'm struggling to get past the initial application stage for FPGA internships. I rarely seem to receive online assessments and keep getting rejected after submitting my applications.

I'm particularly interested in FPGA engineering roles at trading firms, but I'm not sure whether the issue is my CV, lack of relevant experience, or something else.

For anyone who's been through this process, especially EEE students or people applying for FPGA/HFT internships, what helped you get more OAs? Is there anything specific recruiters look for at the CV screening stage?

Any advice would be really appreciated!
