An external recruiter submitted me for a temp position at a firm. The same day, after going over initial details, I looked into the company and applied directly on the firm's career site for a permanent, better paying legal position. The next day, my recruiter told me that the firm wants to interview me soon for the temp position. HR sent me the interview invite, but the interview is with the temp team lead and one of the firm's general counsel rather than the HR team. I'm assuming HR can see both the internal and external applications; however, since the interview isn't with HR, is it inappropriate to mention my other application and interest in that position as well? I'm qualified for both positions and I would take the temp one if offered, but I would rather have the permanent legal position (I am a recent J.D. Grad). I'm thinking of mentioning it at the end of the interview when they ask if I have any questions/additional information. Something along the lines of "I'm interested in working for this company and if this role isn't the right fit, I would like to be considered for xyz role as well." What should I do?
