yah Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I recently interviewed for a position I really want at a company I want to work for. I think I have a 50/50 chance of getting it but I wont know their decision for another 2 weeks. The company just posted a few more positions. One is very different from the one I applied to, but I qualify for the new one as well and I am interested. Not *as* interested as the one I interviewed for, but still interested. Should I apply now or wait out the 2 weeks? The hiring managers will be different but I'm sure it will go through the same HR person. I don't want to mess up my chances for the first position.

When is the application deadline for the second position? If it's after you get the results on the first application, I would wait.

zengirl Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I would apply for the 2nd position, but write in the cover letter that my strong desire is to work for the company (in general) and note that I had an interview and, as far as I know, I'm still in the running for the 1st position. If the interviewer/department is different, I would also send a courtesy email to the original interviewer. Link to post Share on other sites
Author yah Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 None listed. Probably open until filled. With the first position I interviewed for, I applied 2 days after it posted, heard back in 1-2 weeks and interviewed after another 1-2 weeks. I think they'll announcing their decision 1.5 month from the day they posted that first job. Link to post Share on other sites
