Apply for two different types of jobs at the same company | NoBSJobSearchAdvice.com
By Jeff Altman, Big Game Hunter
Will applying for two different types of jobs at one company reduce your chances of getting either job?
The surprise of the third interview
This is the next question. Would applying to two different jobs with one company significantly reduce your chances of getting each job? Now, I’m going to continue here. I’m interested in two different areas and they outline two different groups.
Is it a bad idea to apply for both positions at one company? How does this process typically work with processing applications? Will it go through the same recruiter? So without outlining the specific work, I’ll just start by answering the question of whether it will reduce your chances of getting an answer. Well, it depends. Now, I interviewed a corporate HR recruiter on Job Radio a while ago and he commented that applicant tracking systems are now in place to identify people who apply frequently.
So in his case, this was a medical facility in the mid-Atlantic states, and they were constantly getting applications from people for multiple positions who weren’t actually qualified. Therefore, the system starts blocking them for the simple reason that they are nothing more than spammers to them. So, yes, you could say they might have bumped into one of them, but they weren’t paying attention.
They just want to work for this company and don’t really care how it affects the people reading their resume. They just want to work for the company, and that’s not what the company is looking for. They are looking for talent to fill individual job openings.
Therefore, multiple submissions may have detrimental effects unless you address them directly to the hiring manager. So if you’re applying through an applicant tracking system, you’re starting to devalue yourself because, in this particular case, one person is applying for two different types of positions. Although they may have two different recruiters, the system they are applying to will notice that they have applied through the system for two different types of positions.
Another stupid resume mistake
They’ll look at the resume and say, well, this is the same person, they’re not really a good fit for these roles, or they’re a good fit for this role. Why did they apply for this? Let’s get rid of it. Or they might just simply say spammer, or they might just simply look at both and go away, hehe, and get rid of you.
Therefore, it may have adverse effects. Sorry, in the worst case it has a neutral effect, in the best case it has a neutral effect. At worst it could have a negative impact because again, here are the scenarios.
ah? OK Let us take him as this and reject her as the other. Trying to stay generally neutral there.
Or they can leave, it’s a spammer, in any case they won’t leave, awesome! We received applications or resumes from them for two different jobs. Yes! And, most likely, two different recruiters are coordinating it. Then, internal friction will occur.
So they may have to figure out who is going to be the primary interviewer and who is going to be the secondary interviewer. Remember, corporate recruiters are now evaluated based on results as well. So, it’s not just a matter of you getting hired, which I know is a concern for you, but for them, they have metrics that have to be met, and you could be wasting someone’s time that could be better served elsewhere.
So, moving on, how does the process typically handle applications? Will this be addressed through the same recruiter? The fact that you submit to two different groups turns you into an amateur. And, as a hobbyist, you’re sending a signal to employers that you don’t really have a career yet and you’re working on it. After all, you may be interested in one area or another.
2 huge final interview mistakes
The fact is, you leave it to the wind, to the ether, to figure this out for you, am I lucky enough to get this, or do I have to stick to the old pattern of, you know, sending messages to employers. Even if it’s the old paradigm, they say to themselves, okay, she’s looking for something completely different than what she’s doing now. They won’t. . . She won’t be happy in her old job.
See where I’m going next? This is more complicated than simply handing it over to the same recruiter. This is the effect of information that recruiters interpret and process on their own. This is what recruiters do.
They stopped. They left the windows open. They go do something else.
They’re not going to call because they’re still dealing with this issue and these conflicting messages you’re sending. Often, when they stop, they hesitate for a long time. When they hesitate for a long time, they review their resume again.
They took no action and ultimately refused. Would the results have been different? Absolutely! What might be the outcome? Not so good for you. You’re better off focusing on one thing you want, just that, in a particular company, and go from there.
careful!
