How can I get a Project Management Job? It's really hard :(

I’m a Management fresh graduate from one of the universities in Indonesia. I’ve been searching for a job as a Project Manager for over three months now, but I haven’t had much success. Even securing an internship has been challenging due to the high requirements—most positions ask for at least one year of professional work experience as a project manager. It feels like a paradox: how am I supposed to gain experience if even getting an internship is so difficult? I’ve also tried looking for opportunities in other ASEAN countries through LinkedIn, but the results have been the same. While I may not have professional experience as a Project Manager, I do have some relevant project management experience. I interned as a business consultant, where I managed several projects, and I also worked on project management tasks during my exchange program in Malaysia. Currently, I’m taking Google’s Project Management courses on Coursera to strengthen my skills. If anyone has advice on what I can do to improve my chances of getting hired or knows of any internship/full-time opportunities for Junior Project Manager roles, I’d greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you!
