I applied for a job at a small family office about a week ago. Haven’t hear back yet, as well they have another posting for a different position. The two positions have similar required qualifications and I think my skillset satisfies the responsibilities for both. I think the successful applicants in each position would be working in the same team as well.
My question is, should I apply for the second posting or does that seem desperate? Do you think the hiring manager would automatically consider me for the second position even though I did not apply directly?
Herein lies this issue. I’m not sure if it’s the same where you live, but where I live companies normally do not contact you unless they want to continue with your application.
If you are compatible with both positions, I don’t see any problem with applying for both. However, it might be useful to mention this somewhere, to avoid awkward situations later.
