[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were you, I wouldn't mention it at all.  If you are offered the job and accept it, then I think DH should ask whatever HR person who is coordinating his application process if there is a policy regarding applicants who have a family member employed by the organization.

I'm not sure whether what affect it might have on either of your applications if disclosed before -- positive or negative?  Maybe it depends on how well either of you is clicking with your hiring committees.  What is your sense?  Mine is to let it ride until it's official.  Then, at least one of you has a job.[/quote]

I am fairly far along and think I have a pretty good chance.  DH just applied.  My gut is that, if I were to be offered the job, I could inform HR that DH has applied in a different department.  I wouldn't want to make it seem that DH getting a job is a condition of my acceptance, but do you think that would increase his chances of at least getting an interview since we are relocating?  I know that for senior level positions HR often helps the spouse land a position, among other things, when relocation is part of the equation.[/quote]
