    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 projects

    Then, if you got it, just work hard and be nice to people as they say. That's about it.

    Good luck.
