Help FP TC etc land his dream job

[OK_Cat]

i didn't read this whole thread, but are you calling these people after you send in a resume?

nothing pisses me off more than people who don't call, and then wonder why they didn't get a job.  follow up, bad person.

[FP TC etc.]

I always follow up.

And I agree sending in more than one application seems stupid, I will probably avoid doing that.

It's all such a freakin' mine field. I hate it. At some places, following up is considered good etiquette. At others, they hate you for taking up their time with a phone call.
Some places never even bother to let you know they've received your resume or that they've hired someone else even after you spent two hours interviewing with them.
(Yeah. I'm job seeking while employed right now, and I hate it. A lot. If I halfway liked my current job, I would reconsider the job search just because I hate this crap so much.)

You guys know what working professionals appreciate?  Honesty without games.  Call the person, tell them you what you want, send in a resume, call to follow up, and if you get turned down for one, tell them you would like to still be considered for one of the other positions.  Don't play any games or angles.  Ppl hate them and see through them immediately more often than not.

just apply for the job and have a good interview like a normal person

There's more than one job in the same company that I want to apply for.

Do I apply for them both or just for one?

I'd probably call hr and see what they want you to do. With my company you send in one general application and they assign you the job they feel you'll be best at based on your interview. Our hiring process is weird though so idk what the normal stuff is.

Isn't that basically what I advised?

Probably, Dobbs.  Truth: I scanned this sucker.  Didn't read the whole thing.  Just saw that they were still stressing over the "how to" after several pages.

It's an old thread, I just bumped it with my new question.

I'm currently waiting for a company to fire this guy so I can take over the position. I nailed the phone interview, personality test, etc. They email me daily to be patient. It's kinda awkward, but it's a great gig.
