I would work towards an internship as you'll get paid for it, most likely get a mentor who can help you when you get stuck, and have direct and clear projects to work on. To that end, there are 2 steps to getting most internships and jobs at your level. 1. Pass the initial resume to get the interview. I don't have much advice on how to do this besides being a cs undergrad with a high gpa unfortunately. 2. Pass the interview. At your level, most companies ask you to solve data structures and algorithmic problems on a whiteboard. To prepare for this, obviously read some data structure and algorithm books and then their is interview prep you can do such as cracking the code interview book and leetcode.
