Career Advice - Currently a BComm graduate with a major in Int. Business

I am currently a BComm graduate with a major in Int. business and a minor in Economics. Wasn't really focused at the time and managed to secure a B average overall. Figured I would get a decent job. However, that was surely not the case. Due to the economy have been working in the in the marketing department making B2B outbound calls for about a year and a half. Other than that have about other year of sales experience ( have no finance experience). Looking to get out this environment ASAP.

I am looking to take my career to the next level by getting involved in the finance industry. That is where I see myself. After much research, I have enrolled my self for <abbr title="Chartered Financial Analyst">CFA</abbr> level 1 exam and plan on getting my <abbr title="Chartered Financial Analyst">CFA</abbr> designation.

I need some advice as to how to get into the finance sector , what type of jobs i should be looking for ? and basically, what my next steps should be ? 

Thanks.
