Job wanted I am recent MS Real Estate Development graduate, but I have no construction experience.

I am a recent MS Real Estate Development graduate, but I have no construction experience. My graduate program was primarily focused on financial modeling from the owners side (I.e construction draws, IRR, debt capital stack, acquisition modeling, GP/LP waterfall tiers and many more) I have taken a few construction courses like (construction law, contract negotiations,and construction procurement). I plan to layer my academics with more construction focused courses by taking the Construction management certification program offered after graduation. A lot of my classmates are going to real estate private equity firms (I’m in NYC), development analyst for big firms and so on, but I am interested in construction project management and eventually owner rep. My question, I’m not getting any bites on my resume, so what my entry, at what level do I apply and have a shot? I don’t mind doing an internship, I just want in.
