Question about requesting multiple locations

November 13, 2015 01:00PM
I'm sure most of you have seen the $250/2 part bank assignment posted earlier this week. I, like hundreds (thousands?) of others, have applied for this shop in my area. There are at least three locations close to my home and day job that I could do this shop, but this is obviously a "one and done". I only applied to one location, but actually wanted to apply to all three.

Is it obnoxious or in poor form to apply for all three locations in the hopes that one is assigned to me? The actual scheduler is not listed on this app (and I totally understand why). Otherwise, I would have attempted to make contact and let them know I could do any of the three locations.

What is the proper etiquette for something like this?

I used to see a life coach pretty regularly.... back when they were called bartenders.

Apply for all 3. The scheduler may have 15 folks who want one of the locations, 50 for the second and nobody wants the third. You are unlikely to get awarded more than one unless your scheduler is snoring.

Thanks @Flash! That was the answer I was hoping for. :-) I went out on a limb and put apps in for the other locations I could do before you posted, in the hopes that it wouldn't be the wrong thing to do.

Kim Rod-
Before you take on the $250 shop, be sure you know if there are any fees with this shop. Sometimes you need a balance of $250 so not to incur fees. I would go on-line to the bank and see what your options are.

Thanks Shopper8. I did just that before I applied. Even if I don't meet their minimum requirements after opening the account, the fee is small enough that I will chalk it up to a business expense. It's a risk I'm willing to take for a nice sized payday from this MSC.
