Question: I am in the post-grad school job search process and am wondering if it is appropriate to apply for more than one position within the same organization? I'm worried that it may show a lack of commitment, but they are all positions I'd be interested in and mostly qualified for.
提問:我正處于研究生畢業(yè)找工作的時期,我想知道申請同一個機構的多個職位是否合適。我擔心這樣做似乎顯得缺乏忠誠,但是那些都是我所感興趣并最能勝任的職位。

回答:
I don't think that applying for more than one position within the same organization shows a lack of commitment; in fact, I think it shows just the opposite. That you're interested in multiple positions doesn't necessarily mean that you're not focused on a certain position, but it does suggest how much you'd like to work for the company in question. As long as your qualifications meet the requirements for each position, you shouldn't be in danger of an employer viewing your application as frivolous.
我認為申請一個機構的多個職位并不會顯得缺乏忠誠;實際上,我認為這表現(xiàn)得恰恰相反。你對多個職位感興趣并不一定就意味著你對某個職位不專注,相反這正表明你有多么想為所說的這家公司工作。只要你的資歷符合每個職位的要求,雇主就不會認為你申請工作是草率的了,你不應該會面臨這種危險。
The key is to treat each position as a unique opening with its own specific requirements. The most effective way to prove that you're not just applying for every available job under the sun, and are in fact interested in the jobs for which you're applying, is to tailor each resume for each position's requirements. Tedious? Maybe, but it's important to treat each position as though it is completely unrelated in order to present yourself as a distinctive candidate for each role.
關鍵在于利用每個職位特定的要求把它當作一個獨一無二的開始。要證明你不是要申請?zhí)煜滤锌赡塬@得的工作,而實際上只對你所申請的工作感興趣,最有效的方法就是針對每個職位的要求量身打造每一份簡歷?菰锓ξ?或許吧,但重要的是,你在對待同一個公司中的不同職位時、,都要把它們當做是毫無關聯(lián)的,以此來展現(xiàn)自己就是每個職位與眾不同的人選。
If the company specifically says they don't want you to submit a cover letter, then I'd recommend including each job title in the objective section of your resume. I'm usually anti-objective, but this is one time that it would actually have a sensible function. If the positions fall under different departments and ask that you submit your application to different managers, be sure to include cover letters (if applicable) with each one.
如果這個公司明確指出他們不想讓你提交求職信,那么我建議你在簡歷的目標部分加上應聘職位的標題。我通常不喜歡寫目標職位,但這一次它真的會有明顯的作用。如果這幾個職位是在不同的部門下,并且要求你向不同的經(jīng)理提交簡歷,那么要確保隨著每份簡歷附上求職信(如果適用的話)。
