Who should you be reaching out to at a firm to land your next job? The hiring manager or a principal?

Unless it's a small company, that would not be the principal and most principals are too busy to review all resumes sent to them. That said, if you can get recommended to the principal by someone who knows him personally then definitely take that route. Hiring managers only pass on resumes to principals or the supervisors needing employees, and a lot of times are not even fully aware of new positions being considered until they are officially posted. I got all my jobs through personal introductions to the principal, but know quite a few people who went through the design director and then got introduced to a principal, already as a vetted potential hire.

I'm looking for fellow interior designers (or other creatives) to share unemployment experiences as a guest blogger on my blog. Message me if you're interested!
