I recently applied for two jobs within one company. One is full time at a primary care office, while the other is part time at an ENT office. I recently interviewed for the primary care office. After I returned home, I received a phone call from the company talent advisor that the ENT office would be reaching out to me soon for an interview. I would really like to work for the ENT office because it is an area I am interested in. If I am offered the Primary Care job, but have an interview for the ENT position what should I do. Is there a way to politely get more time to interview for the position I am interested in. I am scared to lose both job opportunities as a recent grad. The primary care office contacted me for an interview after I had submitted my resume to the ENT office. I need advice on how to handle this situation.
Thank you

No need to worry since you weren't offer the primary care position yet. If it is offered before your ENT interview, be honest and up front with them that you need a few extra days to think about the offer. You can leave the conversation at that, but if you feel more comfortable, you can tell them you are in the interview process for another position (but no need to go into further detail). But know that if this situation does happen, that there is a chance that the primary care office may rescind their offer. Know what you want, know your finances, know your personal and career goals, and know what you want your future to be like before deciding.
