New job application

    I am applying for a job in IKEA, it took me about 2 hours to fill out the application, read over it, make amendments etc etc. I am applying to a second job in the same company, one is sales and the other is risk assesment (It's what I can make from the job spec). Is it wise to copy and paste some of the application? For example:

    Personal Development
    Educational, Technical and Professional Qualifications

    are both the same... If HR read over them both will they think I am lazy? It is one of the best applications I have made in the past few months (in my opinion)

    I can easily do either job, but I guess there will be thousands of applications, therefore HR might be looking for reasons to feck out my application, you know? :(

    They might equally well discount it if you said different things in the two apps, it could appear that you were lying.

    Personally, if the same things are relevant for both jobs (and under education/training at least, I'd expect they would be), I'd copy/paste.

    I agree.

    Ah yea, well my education and technical training is exactly the same for both jobs.

    I wouldn't post one thing for one job and another for the other job within the same company. It took me a very long time to do this application. Put more effort than usual into it. If I done this the whole time I wouldn't be making too many applications :P

    Thanks for the replies anyway :)
