Apply to jobs in your field. Better, get an AI to do it. That seems to be the current trend.
Also, cybersecurity jobs often require years of experience, even for entry-level. I feel your pain.

Hey buddy,
I’ve just made this thread, sounds what you need : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6301246
What did you study ? Offensive ? Defensive ? Do you know what job you want to don?
If you have any question feel free, and as long as you can work on personal projects, certifications, and so on, there is no 100% need of prior experience. That’s probably one of the greatest advantage of this field.
Hope to see you around !

Have fun trying to get your foot into the door. It's too competitive and most places want experience.

Confidence at job interviews is a huge deal, and being able to "talk the talk" as they say. Fake it 'til you make it has never let me down.

if you can’t land a job in cyber security take a lower position like data analyst. Apply your skillset to side projects while working and any decent company will pivot you to an appropriate position in time

Been thinking of doing a thread on this. LazyApply, jobright.ai, and undetectable.ai are ones that I've tried.
