dear evil hr lady,

i just read your article about applying to any and all jobs at one specific company, and how that’s, well, crazy. while i would never beat an employer over the head trying to get a job, i would like to know your opinion on applying for the same position, but in different locations within the company. in my case, it is a visual merchandising title with the same company at a few different retail stores in and around nyc. i feel that your answer would be the same. but they do have specific postings for each location, so i’m not sure what to do.

one other question: what about a company that has positions you qualify for, but in a variety of different brands that they own. for example, banana republic, gap and old navy are all owned by gap inc. same company, similar jobs but different labels… is that still a no-no?
