How to get started without facilitation experince?

Hi everyone, perhaps a silly question, but there might be others with the same problem 😅

I just finished the Fundamentals course and facilitated a few workshops at my company (which I am planning to leave soon) but looking for a new job in facilitation is not that easy because they are usually looking for some experience in a candidate.

I’ve been working in sales combined with learning & development for quite some time now, but switching to IT environments and scrum/agile need for facilitators requires quite a bit more than fundamentals course.

What would be your advice to take next steps in order to switch my career successfully?

Thank you so much for any tips and tricks :)

Books, courses, jobs description - anything 🤩

Btw, I am from the Netherlands, if there’s anyone else from Dutchland and willing to get in touch I’d be happy to chat. Hope it’s not against the rules ☺️🍀💫🙌
