Is applying for two jobs at the same company weird?

[swain90]

Hi All,

I've found myself in a position where I'm about to be redundant...at some point (that's a story for another day)

I've come across a company which is within the same industry and has two job roles available, both of which I think I would enjoy, however is it weird writing a cover letter for two job roles?

It's been ~5 years since I last applied for a job so not sure if I should just pick the one which is slightly more desirable, or write it for both?

Any advice would be great!

Cheers

Cover letter is currently 3 paragraphs, 1st is how generally awesome I am, 2nd is tailored around job 1 and 3rd is tailored around job 2. These applications are direct with the company.
