hey everybody Don Georgevich here
with job interview tools and today I want to
talk to you about applying to multiple
positions within the same company I mean
this happens a lot of big companies out
there they they post multiple jobs even
from different departments within their
company they're posting jobs to the
internet and sometimes one department
doesn't know what the other department
is even doing and you're like you know
what I I liked that job in this
department and I like the job over here
in this department
you can't you kind of want both or maybe
there's one that you want more than the
other but let's say you get the
interview for one and you go in the
interview and they're like you know what
we like you would like to offer you the
job and you're like oh that's great and
you're thinking in the back of your mind
but the one I want is kind of in the
other department well you can't tell
them that you can't say I really want
the other job you have to accept the one
that they gave you just take it it's
there it's a job offer you were looking
for one and accept it if you use if you
say anything else if you say can you
hold on until I interview over here what
you're demonstrating is a lack of
commitment to this position you're
saying you know I really don't want it
and you know what from their perspective
they would rather hire somebody who
really wants it instead of someone who's
just kind of a you know maybe I'll take
it maybe I won't so you want to show
that you're committed you're dedicated
to this position and accept it now what
happens when the other position comes
around and they want to interview you
well you're gonna have to interview with
total transparency you're gonna have to
say you know what two weeks ago I
accepted a job over here and this is
this is what I'm doing now
but like I don't want it to be in your
department this is where I want it to be
so you have to explain this to them very
sincerely and you have to say you know
I'm sorry I'd feel really bad if I left
this other job but this is this is
really where I want to be and you can't
wait till the end of the interview to
tell them this you have to tell them
this upfront because you're interviewing
at the same company that you're already
working at so total transparency is the
key it's the only way to get it's the
only way to shift from one department to
the other in the same company
if they were two completely different
companies let's say you're interviewing
you got a job offer and you took it and
then two weeks later another company the
place you really wanted to be at offer
you the job
and then you could just you know resign
from the first company with you know but
sincere regret and saying I'm very sorry
I didn't work out but this other company
is where I wanted to be but if it's the
same company you have to come clean that
there's no way to hide that but the key
to making this work is to not say
anything during the first interview you
don't want to say that you know I've
applied to another position within the
same company unless they ask if they say
have you applied to any other jobs
within our company then you have to say
yes I did I applied to this other one in
your accounting department and then you
leave it at that and then maybe maybe
they'll ask you maybe they'll even ask
you at that point and say well which one
would you rather have and then that's
your opportunity to say you know what
this is this is kind of where I'd rather
be I think I'm a better fit for that so
you just want to be genuine and honest
you don't want to hide anything I mean
if you start hiding things then they're
gonna catch you in some lies and well
then it's just not gonna look good there
if they catch you in lies they're
they're just gonna completely disqualify
you from the whole process and they're
gonna move on to someone else another
candidate that they're more comfortable
with who's more genuine honest and
sincere and who really wants to be here
okay
I hope that helps you I hope that helps
