How to get a finance-related job with cfa&frm passed and NO relevant experience?

Hey guys,

I passed both CFA level III and FRM part II exam. However, the experience I had was nothing related to finance industry. I used to be a CFA instructor and a community manager in an online forum, and those two jobs were more relevant to education industry.

I am currently in Toronto and will pursue my Master of Finance degree in this June. What I want is a finance-related job, but obviously, the resume I sent receive no feedback or rejection.

What can I do now to break into finance industry? What kind of job should I apply for?

Thank you for your kind help!!!
