husband and wife applying for the same job?

[smock]

If they work in the same field I don't see how it's strange. Do you only have one opening?

We have husbands and wives that work where I work but none of them were hired at the same time. That is...odd.

My h and I work at the same company- not in the same field though.

Well, I certainly wouldn't want to be up against my H for a job.

If we were both unemployed I wouldn't mind!

Increased chances!

Lol, maybe they don't know the other applied...? That is a little odd.

Maybe if we were desperate! I just see too much room for hurt feelings to arise.

Really?

Why hurt?

If either gets it, that's a good thing for the household.

My husband and I met at work. Same department, were even in the same group for a while. Still work together, too.

We talked about applying to the same company recently. Even if just one of us got the job, the pay and benefits would be worth it. (Unfortunately it is too far, and not secure enough...)
