Research opportunities around you for volunteering or paid internships. These could be incredibly helpful in giving you an idea of institutions around which offer direct work in the field, whilst also giving you valuable experience that will prepare you for your career path.
If you frequently use social media, I would also recommend researching influencers or other people in the field which share insights from their experiences and what they did to enhance their CVs for the job.
Having said all of this, my biggest tip on starting a career in any field is to lean into your passion for the subject and your curiosity to grow. Starting a career in a field you like should not feel like a burden, but rather an opportunity of applying your knowledge and interest in real life scenario.
Demonstrating your genuine interest and openness to learn is one of the key factors which can make any employee stand out and is something majority (if not all) employers appreciate as it shows them that you have potential to grow and develop in the field.
Best of luck with job searching, you got it!
