LLM graduate looking for securities regulation compliance jobs

I am recent LLM law graduate from NYU with interest in compliance jobs in financial markets industry. I have good understanding of different financial securities.

Would like to work in the compliance roles involving working with the SEC, FINRA, MSRB regulations etc...

What is a good introductory book to securities regulation to get a good overview without getting bogged down in too much detail and not a huge volume read?

Have some followup questions *Someone with law background and basic understanding of financial markets and regulations how to approach job search? * How would an interview be for entry level with this background? * Any recommended skills or certifications before applying jobs? * What kind of things to put in resume with this background? * Best material for series 7/63...Will familiarizing it helpful or just overkill? Is there any book that can explain these regulations easily? * Companies to apply? * Job roles to apply? * Once getting entry level job how to be further successful? * How would actual job and responsibilities be once obtaining the job?

Thanks all
