Dar, when applying for jobs at the corporate office, I pulled that one more than once. When we'd set up the interview for one job, I would mention the other job I'd applied for, explain that I don't know where it is in the process, and don't know if I'll be asked to interview, but if they are going to ask me to, can they see me the same day?

The things that were to my advantage: this was within the same company; the same person was setting up both interviews; I knew that the girl setting up the interviews was in basically an entry - level position. What she thought of whether I was pushy or not would not make any difference to my success.

BTW, it worked.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a buyer needs to have some assertiveness, doesn't she?

Mr. Silver can probably give a better answer of how the question will be received. Certainly you would express that it is not necessary for you to do it that, only that you will happen to be in town and are available during the hours of .... Even give them the heads up that you will be stopping by, and check to see if the interviewer or supervisor might have a moment to meet with you, not necessarily an interview.

If that all feels to comfortable, the clean copy of your resume is also a nice idea.

The more face time you can get, the better.

Go for it, Dar!

Lots of butterflies to you now, and hugs,
