Just a quick question, I didn’t see this topic covered so I apologize if I missed it already.

If I apply for two jobs-one job with several other applicants and one job where I am the only person applying-do I automatically get the second job?

The reason I ask this is because there are a couple of people applying for my first choice team and no one applying for my second choice team. I’d apply for both, but was wondering if I did that do I automatically lose out on my first choice?

I hope that makes sense.

We don’t have priorities for your applications but you won’t automatically lose your first choice. What may happen is that applications for your second option get processed first and then your first option application will be cancelled. If you’re lucky enough, your first option will be processed first, giving you a chance of getting the job.

In the future we’ll have a way for managers to define priorities on their applications.
