Lost soul of a foreign graduate without internship - Where to begin?

Hey, I am a recent graduate from the Philippines who is looking for a job but needs guidance as I am lost. I graduated at a good university in the Philippines with a degree in Business Administration major in Financial Management. I know how use a Bloomberg Terminal as I was able to get a CFMP certification from Bloomberg through the Bloomberg Professional Service Training Program. I’ve had no prior internship experience in the Philippines. (I know my chances in working at an IB is very small to non-existent) that is why I am here to ask for guidance and insights on what part of the industry I should target on landing a job given the background that I have. I am a CFA level 1 candidate taking this December. I am very passionate about finance and I know my passion will not translate into getting the job of my dreams (IB). Should I just give up? Should I waste money on taking the CFA exam? Or will it come useful upon getting the designation after passing all three exams. Will passing CFA level 1 exam increase my chances of landing a job related to the course of study that I took in college? Please help a lost soul find its path. Thank you.
