Hi!

I don't know about Nigeria but where I am, the HR would even advise you to look at their list of vacant positions and apply for those you believe would be a good fit. You could even apply for one and they'd still offer you another after the recruitment exercise. This happens either because the two roles are closely related or the candidate has a lot of transferable skills. Therefore, nothing actually stops you from outrightly applying for the two from the onset.

Most HR systems make a distinction between applicants and applications. These two entities have a one-to-many relationship (i.e. one applicant can have multiple applications). I know this cause I have designed/developed enough enterprise systems to last me for a lifetime. The systems are built this way for a reason. Any HR model that's not flexible enough to accommodate this will definitely lose talents. A design decision which has become some sort of an argument is whether the CV should be associated with the applicant or the application. If with the applicant, then you have a single CV entry, and if with the application, then you have multiple CV entries (but don't let this fool you, very different CV's would be considered a red flag).

Caution; do not apply for too many roles, this would make it look as if you're looking for whatever sticks. Do not apply for any two completely unrelated roles, this would greatly dilute your experience in both. Do you not use very different CV's if you're allowed to upload one CV per application, this would reduce your credibility.

You have my best wishes!

I checked a job website and found a company advertising for 2 positions and they fit my job description perfectly. Is it ideal for me to apply in both or select one and apply? Need some guidance

You can apply for both.. there's nothing wrong except it's stated otherwise.

If it is a foreign company, no problem. But if it is a Nigerian company, omo, de HR sef go curse you die. Nigerian companies are still in primitive times, especially some of their HR personnel.

Just respect yourself and select the one most suitable to your previous experience or where you have slight comparative advantage in terms of experience, professional qualifications and future growth.

In google, Amazon or Apple, you could apply for more than one opening at a time.

There's no atom of insanity in applying for both. Good.

You can apply for both opening if you have the requirements & expirence, unless it is stated that you can only apply for one slot.
For those of you saying it's greed, it's not in any way.
