Maybe David Hargis Can Get You to the Hiring Manager…He’s most likely an Engineer

• I called CVI Melles Griot at 760-438-2131, selected option 3 (dial by name)
• After entering H,A,R, David Hargis’ name came up as a possible connection.
• He’s still at the company, and possibly your key to getting connected.

Conclusions
• You can find lots of possible connections in LinkedIn.• People in other fields at the target company may help
connect you to the hiring manager.• If you are looking for technical positions, a USPTO patent
search can help.• Use Google to drill down when you get names, and try to find
more information.• Hang onto all information uncovered during the search…you
may need it later.
