How to get credit analyst job

Right now I have a crappy job (operations in a custodial bank). I’m not going to be unrealistic and shoot for IB or ER. I was thinking a credit analyst position at a retail bank. It would definitely be more interesting than my current job.

Any tips on how to get one? Or is this a bda choice?

I was thinking about taking classes with the local bankers association just to get something on the resume and learn a little.
