Finding a job as an analyst

I am currently graduating with a major in finance. Although I do not have any work place experience, I am forex trader for a prop firm managing a 5 figure account. I make a decent percent every month on that account and with this knowledge and experience I am looking to get a job as an investment analyst intern or an assistant (preferably a role in a hedge fund). I would like to know what are the steps I need to take to pursue this goal, and if my trading experience is not enough then what are the qualifications that would make me suitable for such a role?
