Is it a bad idea to apply for two different positions at the same company? I’m concerned that choosing only one could be a mistake if I’m a better fit for the other. At the same time, I want to avoid them thinking that I'm going to take any job offer I get. What's the most effective way to approach this? Edit to add, I'm fully qualified for both jobs.

There is nothing wrong with it

There doesn't seem to be any downside to applying to two jobs. Having them think you'll take any job offer probably isn't a legitimate worry. They're just as likely to see it as you being highly motivated to find a job. And motivation always looks good.

I have done it in the past and don't see anything wrong with it. I think it is a good idea because you may be a better fit for one role over the other. I say apply for anything and everything in this job market.
