I'm an Employment Consultant and a business owner. I recommend that you apply for everything you like the look of and are able to do. Keep a diary and attach the job ad and a copy of your application to the day you apply for each job- it'll help you keep track of them. The business of getting the job you want can be cut-throat and employers will make their decisions based on the best person available at the time- no emotional connection, just what's right for their business. El Pollo speaks the truth in saying that the important thing to do is be polite and professional when saying 'no' to an offer. NEVER wait it out and NEVER close a door permanently if you can help it- it may help if the job you take turns sour or isn't what you expected. Employers value truthfulness in candidates, and they expect that a good candiate will be in demand. You can improve your negotiating power to get paid well and get better conditions for the job you want with several offers on hand. Employers expect that too from a strong candidate. ALWAYS follow up on your applications (by phone if you can) within a week of applying- don't wait to be called, and ALWAYS send a thank you note after you've been interviewed. Feel welcome to ask if you need some help.
