Tracking down the right person at CBRE
I applied to a few positions, Sr. Project Coordinator and Asst. Real Estate Manager. 

I've gone thru the directory, calling the Sr. Project Manager and Sr. Real Estate Manager for my area (Orange County). Both were unaware of the open positions I was following up on. 

For the Sr. PC position, the PM was surprised and mentioned that they weren't aware of any projects in the specified area that the job description listed. When I called the local office to speak with HR, they informed me that HR is located in Dallas. 

How do I even know who to follow up with re my applications?
