When I apply to a company, I apply to every single job I qualify for. Sure I have career goals, but after the past several years, I can no longer be selective or "focused". I came across this article in hopes of finding the best way of applying to multiple jobs with one company as I'm applying to over 20 positions with one company alone all the way down to Grounds Keeper. The Grounds Keeper job pays well enough to keep the lights on after cutting back on everything. I wouldn't describe this as being unfocused. Quite the contrary, I would say that my world is in more focus as I'm willing to do whatever it takes and not live off of unemployment. I often find that the ones that are "naive" are not always the ones trying to get a job, but often the ones deciding who should get it. While the guy that hits on every woman he sees in a bar may not be the most attractive or gets the most attractive girl, he's usually the one that gets laid the most.
