Try internships initially, practice and learn on HTB, THM and most importantly make the resume clear and on point.

Cyber security is not only about pentesting, there are multiple domains available

Same for mee also

Cybersecurity is not that difficult to get into as a fresher. Certifications and knowledge will definitely help. It’s difficult to get into Network Security as a fresher though

Yes that’s what i am getting at. Other cybersecurity verticals are easier to get in compared to Network Security at least for freshers. After that it is a level field.
