Break into Equity Research- Just Graduated from University (No Experience)

Hi Guys,

I just recently graduated from a russel group university, achieving a 2:1, and currently enrolled to take the CFA level 1 in June 2017. I do not have any work experience, I am currently reading books about value investing and the industry to help form a bigger picture and gain familiarity with the industry? Does anyone have specific guidance on how to get in?

Kind Regards N.pats
