Q: Should I apply for multiple job ads with the same company?


A: Generally speaking, there is a risk. In many companies the same recruiter will be reading both sets of applications, and this could send the message that you submit your resume by just blasting out your resume to any and every job that you see no matter how appropriate you might be for them.

Have some faith that the HR person screening your resumé will consider you for the position which you are best suited for even if it is not the one you applied for.

The other thing that applying for multiple jobs does is that it sends a message that you may not really know what you want. You want the company to think that you are the perfect person for a specific job and that you understand your skills and capabilities.
