Get a foot in the door

means to take a small first step toward achieving a bigger opportunity, especially in a company or career you want.

Examples:

1- I’m volunteering at the art gallery to get a foot in the door for a full-time job there.
2- She took a lower-paying role because it was a great way to get a foot in the door at her favorite company.
