Applying for two contracts at the same place

Any advice on applying for two contracts at the same place. One job is more senior than the other but would take either at the moment. How do I get around having two differnt slanted CVs?

Apply for one and make it clear at interview you would like to be considered for the other and let them decide which you are most suitable for.
Assuming you can get an interview.
I have done this a number of times. I usualy undersell and let them realise I can do the senior position rather than try for the top post as it is harder for them to turn you down and then offer the lesser role.

I am not qualified to give the above advice!
