If you want to work for an agency, contact the CD and let them know you're interested.
If you want to work for a small (series A, B) startup, contact the CEO and let them know you're interested.
If you want to work for a FAANG type company, contact the Product Managers/Designers and let them know you're interested.
Helps to have:
- a decent folio
- an online presence (twitter, linkedin)
- some interesting side projectsThen, if you got it, just work hard and be nice to people as they say. That's about it.
Good luck.
