“Old ways of Application, won’t open new doors of Selection.”

Have you ever wondered what impression you might leave on a job provider by applying for multiple positions in a company? Does the idea of applying for various profiles in the same company sound desperate?

Well, it depends upon a number of factors. While on the job hunt, a candidate may face situations in which applying for multiple jobs at a company isn’t that bad.

Multiple Job Application

If a candidate’s skill set and qualifications suffice to meet the job role’s requirements, then there is no harm in applying for different positions in a company. Hence, if an employee’s candidature is strong enough for all the positions, it makes sense to apply for them.

The second factor that needs to be given due importance is the size of the company. If the company happens to operate, execute and hire at a large scale, then there is less probability of the same hiring manager reviewing all applications of the candidate. Therefore, multiple applications leave a candidate harmless.

Most importantly, even if a candidate considers applying for multiple positions in a company, he should limit his application to 2-3 job profiles at most. The basic prerequisite for multiple applications happens to be the need to be genuine and realistic while offering your candidature.

It is commonly recommended to apply to one job at a time and if the response to it happens to be uncertain, then move ahead with another application. However, there is a much higher probability of losing the latter opportunity, while awaiting a response from the former. A candidate, therefore, needs to weigh the risk for everything.
