What are your thoughts on....
... applying for the same job as a close friend? A good friend of mine in my graduate program is looking at a position that I'm considering applying for. I'm not surprised at all that I will likely be competing for certain jobs with classmates, especially since I'm looking into some specialized fields. But I must admit I'm a little uncomfortable that its such a close friend.

May the best woman win.
2 other girls in my old firm who I had worked with for 2-plus years and had good friendships with also applied for my current job.
It didn't cause any hard feelings.
I agree. You can't let friendships hold you back from advancing your career. I am sure this will happen again between co-workers or grad school friends. I agree that if they are a friend, they will understand and be supportive.
And when was the last time a man cared about this?
Go for it, but make sure your friend know. If she's a close enough friend she should understand.
DH and one of our best friends applied for the same job a couple years ago. DH ended up getting the job, and I don't think there are any hard feelings, I've never noticed any between them. Once DH got the job, we all also realized it would have been a pay cut for our friend so he probably wouldn't have taken it anyways.
