Like we need lots of lawyers.

Identify a broad path and organizations that you might work at.
And then just try and speak to as many people in the field as you can, especially at those organizations you're interested in and say like, well, with some of my skills, how might I help try and get more ideas like that?
You can also, it's also really useful to ask, if in three months I wanted to be in the best possible position to get this job, what should I do next?
And get those customized answers.
And then it's just like a question of like applying to as many things as you can.
either just jobs straight away, or there's more and more fellowships which aim to take you in, say, three months or a year, again, or sometimes some of them are two years, into accelerating you in this field as much as possible.
So it's really worth applying to all of those and seeing what you get.
And then if you have any spare time, do a portfolio project of some kind.
So do some type of real work that you can show people.
And what that is depends on the field, like...
Is it like building something with AI?
Is it writing blog posts?
It depends on what roles you're targeting, but that really helps stand out to employers and also learn a lot more about the field quickly.
And then when you've done this, it's like a case of reassessing.
And if you get a bunch of offers, then that's amazing.
try and choose the best one for you out of those and just do that.
And then that's like the quickest way to like get even more up to speed.
