Applying to several positions within the same company??

So I went on a website of a certain company & am interested in 2 positions that they have posted.

Should I apply to both or does that make me seem flaky to the HR department?

I encountered the same thing. I applied to both. The interviewing/hiring (I later found out) was done by different people.

I say apply for both- keep all your options open!

GL!!

That actually happened to me when I saw 3 so I just applied for all and was called on one for an interview. So I say go for it if you encounter that.

I work in HR - we have a careers website and the applications comes directly to me and my colleagues in HR. Sometimes candidates will apply to my positions and then for example, a position at a different location. It doesnt bother me that they apply for something else - BUT - if they apply for 2 completely different type of positions it makes me wonder what exactly they are interested in pursuing!

Thanks for your point of view.
It's actually for the same type of position (title-wise) but for a different department.

I'm going to go for it!
