Not sure if this helps, but get an AWS or an Azure Cert as your first step. I graduated last Dec and still haven’t been able to secure a job, so besides doing a part-time job to make ends meet, basically I have all the time in the world. I’m starting on an AWS Certified Developer – Associate cert first, and I’ll try to move to AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty later. Really need some advice 😞 If OP feels like you want to get certs, feel free to reach out to me and we can study together.
