How to break into Venture Capital? Career advancement

I am extremely interested in joining a venture capital firm. I recently worked at an alternative data startup in finance operations and really enjoyed it. I am particularly interested in SaaS startups. I met lots of venture capitalists along the way but never quite got to asking them the best route to becoming a VC myself. Any advice on how to polish up my resume to land an interview at a VC firm?
