我可以同时申请一个公司的多个职位吗？

 　　Question: I am in the post-grad school job search process and am wondering if it is appropriate to apply for more than one position within the same organization? I'm worried that it may show a lack of commitment, but they are all positions I'd be interested in and mostly qualified¹ for.

　　提问：我正处于研究生毕业找工作的时期，我想知道申请同一个机构的多个职位是否合适。我担心这样做似乎显得缺乏忠诚，但是那些都是我所感兴趣并最能胜任的职位。

　　回答：

　　I don't think that applying for more than one position within the same organization shows a lack of commitment; in fact, I think it shows just the opposite. That you're interested in multiple positions doesn't necessarily mean that you're not focused on a certain position, but it does suggest how much you'd like to work for the company in question. As long as your qualifications meet the requirements for each position, you shouldn't be in danger of an employer viewing your application as frivolous².

　　我认为申请一个机构的多个职位并不会显得缺乏忠诚；实际上，我认为这表现得恰恰相反。你对多个职位感兴趣并不一定就意味着你对某个职位不专注，相反这正表明你有多么想为所说的这家公司工作。只要你的资历符合每个职位的要求，雇主就不会认为你申请工作是草率的了，你不应该会面临这种危险。

　　The key is to treat each position as a unique opening with its own specific requirements. The most effective way to prove that you're not just applying for every available job under the sun, and are in fact interested in the jobs for which you're applying, is to tailor each resume for each position's requirements. Tedious? Maybe, but it's important to treat each position as though it is completely unrelated in order to present yourself as a distinctive³ candidate for each role.

　　关键在于利用每个职位特定的要求把它当作一个独一无二的开始。要证明你不是要申请天下所有可能获得的工作，而实际上只对你所申请的工作感兴趣，最有效的方法就是针对每个职位的要求量身打造每一份简历。枯燥乏味？或许吧，但重要的是，你在对待同一个公司中的不同职位时、，都要把它们当做是毫无关联的，以此来展现自己就是每个职位与众不同的人选。

　　If the company specifically says they don't want you to submit a cover letter, then I'd recommend including each job title in the objective section of your resume. I'm usually anti-objective, but this is one time that it would actually have a sensible function. If the positions fall under different departments and ask that you submit your application to different managers, be sure to include cover letters (if applicable) with each one.

　　如果这个公司明确指出他们不想让你提交求职信，那么我建议你在简历的目标部分加上应聘职位的标题。我通常不喜欢写目标职位，但这一次它真的会有明显的作用。如果这几个职位是在不同的部门下，并且要求你向不同的经理提交简历，那么要确保随着每份简历附上求职信（如果适用的话）。
