You don't write where you are. I am sure the situation is different in many countries.
But in my experience there must be something seriously wrong with you or with the way you present yourself, or maybe with records about you. In many countries almost anybody can get a job as a financial advisors - just with commissions.
I would ask someone, maybe a person who is working for years in a managements position, to have a look at your documents. Do you write in color? Lots of spelling mistakes? Is your resume different than standard (to the standard where you live)?
Do you have any bad entries for not paying the bank, a police record, etc.?

I'm about a year and a half out of college, and in that year I've worked for and left an insurance company through which I got my Series 63 and my Life, Health, and Annuities license. Like most life insurance companies, this company paid me only commission, and so I had to leave it for a teaching position because of that uncertainty in my pay.
I do not want to teach at all, but every time I apply for unlicensed banking positions (financial advisor training programs, private banking positions, financial advisor assistant positions, etc) I get rejected almost always within a day of submitting my application.
I want to know what the issue could be. Is it a resume or cover letter issue? Should I apply to licensed positions, even though I don't have a Series 7, or should I explore other options in finance?
For more background, aside from the licenses I have B.Sc.'s in math and physics, and have some experience in tax preparation. I would appreciate any advice that this board can offer.
