Can I apply for 2 jobs at the same time in the same shop?

Question

I have applied for a job in boots. It's 7am-12:30pm but there's another job that is the exact same but just different times. It's like 9am-5pm. I applied for the first because I thought I'd have a better chance of getting it since everyone likes their saturday morning lie-in (it's only 1 day a week) lol. But then I was thinking, I could double my chances by applying for the other one too...

Or would that just look stupid? Like what if I get asked for an interview (which I probably won't...) and they're on the same day and it's the same person....

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, the UK has freedom of choice. You can apply for both. Good luck xx

Answer 2

No you can apply for both at the interview just explain that you are able to do any but prefer the 9-5 or whatever.

Answer 3

no your not stupid , it just shows you are flexible and available for both positions, good on yer

Answer 4

apply for 1 and then in your interview tell them you are not restricted to those hours and would be available for either post should you get the job.
