Use school projects, volunteering, or side work as evidence.

Focus on internships, trainee roles, and junior positions.
Read requirements carefully and apply where you meet core criteria.
Tailor each application
Write a short role-specific cover letter.
Show why you want the role and how you can contribute quickly.
