Learn English – Looking for a position “with a stable company” or “in a stable company”

grammaticalityprepositionsword-choice

I would like to know which of the following is correct:

  • I am looking for a position of Senior Developer with a stable company.
  • I am looking for a position of Senior Developer in a stable company.

For instance, in the article "Job Interview Question: Why Are You Leaving Your Job?", the author — who is, as far as I understand, a native English speaker —, gives the following example:

I am seeking a position with a stable company with room for growth and opportunity for advancement.

Here is another example at the website of the company Pacific Drilling (quote):

How do I apply for a position with Pacific Drilling?

I just want to make sure, is the use of "with a company" the correct form for my example sentence? Or maybe such usage is common in the US?

Would be highly interested to hear the opinion of native English speakers.


Edit: I emphasize, what is the correct/common form with respect to my particular sentence: "with" or "in"?

Of course, I know there are cases when you can use one or another.

Best Answer

I am not a native speaker, but I believe that both I am seeking a position and I am looking for a position are correct, and I would definitely say and write with a company.

If you are not applying for an advertised position, you may write

I am looking for a position of Senior Developer.

or

I am looking for a Senior Developer position.

If you are applying for an advertised position then you would simply write

I am applying for the position of Senior Developer.
