Applying to multiple job posts in the same AUSA district?
I am interested in several job postings in the same AUSA district. I have to email the same person for each of the job postings. Two of the postings are in the same office, and the other one is in different office about 30 minutes away. Do I just pick my favorite one and apply to that one? Will it hurt my chances to express interest in all three positions?

Re: Applying to multiple job posts in the same AUSA district?
No, as long as you'd be willing to take any of the three, apply to all three. At least in my (admittedly limited) experience with hiring, there's no stigma to applying to any/all open positions, and if you don't affirmatively apply for/express interest in a specific posting, they can't consider you for it. You don't want to be in the position where you apply for Job A, and they get a better candidate for Job A, but they also really like you and want to hire you for Job B, but they literally can't b/c you didn't apply for Job B.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 8:44 pmI am interested in several job postings in the same AUSA district.

My current office has definitely hired someone who applied to two separate openings at the same time (we had both a permanent and a term gig; this person applied for both, and didn't get the permanent job, but impressed management enough that they got hired for the term job, and have since been converted to permanent b/c they're excellent).
The only issue is if the positions are all specialized enough that arguing you're an equally good candidate for all of them strains credulity, though I don't think this really comes into play until you're looking at more senior positions. If these are entry level jobs, you may well lose out to someone with more experience, but as long as you don't need a long history of specific experience to apply, it's not going to make you look bad to apply for each of them.
