Apply to 2 jobs at same company?

JMay · April 2012

Can you apply to two jobs at the same company? I don't want to seem indecisive, but both jobs look great, I'm qualified for both, and I really wouldn't care which I got (if I were lucky enough to get either!) But might it be seen as a negative to apply to two jobs? Overkill? If not, do I create two cover letters, or refer to both positions in the same cover letter?

I don't know - I may be answering my own question - it seems desperate to me. I should probably just pick one. What do you think?

I would pick one and then if you get an interview and feel comfortable with the hiring manager, mention that you're interested in both positions.

Ditto the pp. Just as a for-instance: last summer I served on 2 search committees for 2 different jobs at my campus. There were several people who applied for both jobs, which obviously I realized as I was going through resumes for both positions. It made the applicants seem like they were just grabbing for whatever they could get...whether that was their intention or not.

I actually did that with my current company. One was a much better fit and that is my current position. I don't think it looks bad to apply for more than one if you are qualified for either role.
