Contacting HR about a different position?
in 9 to 5
I contact the HR department of a fairly large organization last week about a job posting. After reading the job description I realized I wouldn't be a good fit for it, it requires skills I don't have. Now there is another position open and it would probably be a much better fit. Is it going to look bad contacting them about another position only a week later?

Re: Contacting HR about a different position?
I don't think so.
I would call and say "Hello HR, I read over the job requirements for the position that I recently applied for as well as your new posting for position X. I after looking at both job duties and responsibilities I feel I would be your best candidate and a better fit for position X." Maybe even tell them why you feel this way.
I actually did this with my current position. I applied for a reviewer position and felt that I would enjoy my job more and be more productive in the role I have now. After having been offered the job and filling out my paperwork with HR, the manager told me that they were glad I knew my weaknesses and that I could recognize excelling at a different position.
Totally agree~!
