    In my job search I came across 2 jobs I like. Is there an etiquette for applying and interviewing fore bothand getting picked for one. Can you just apply with one cover letter expressing an interest in both?

    The jobs would be realted but not the same (along the lines of an incomeing semi retail sales situation and a delivery of the same goods betweens branchs/suppliers and customers)

    Cheers.

    I think you should apply for both positions in the same letter. You're being open about wanting either position and being able to do both jobs.

    On one hand they may think you're just looking for any job you can get!
    On the other hand, if you write an excellent cover letter explaining why you are equally suited to both roles and are very interested in either positions then I can see why a Manager would respect that.

    Defintiely apply for both of them in the one letter though. They will find it very strange to receive two CV's from you. It could appear like you have not done research into the company and have sent CV's to any job on Monster.

    Be prepared for the question "which job would you prefer and why". And have a very good answer ready!
