Subject: Relocation question - DH and I applying for jobs at the same organization
If they want you badly enough they might try to accommodate you. But, I agree, don't mention it until you accept the job.

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.
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.

No. I suppose it would be obvious if they compared resumes - same last name, same address - but it's two totally different departments so not likely to happen.

My family is planning to relocate. I am in second round interviews with a major employer and DH just applied for a job at the same organization but in a totally different department. Could I or should I mention this to the HR rep that has been coordinating my interviews? Or is this not appropriate until after I've been offered a position? Not sure of the etiquette or ethics on this.
