I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.

If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly interested, they will give you a decision.

    It’s important to apply to jobs of interest. Though no job is perfect so apply to what you think is tolerable. If you have an offer for a not so interesting job, and the one you want has not made an offer, you can ask that contact for a possible timeframe of next steps. You can also tell the one who made the offer you’d like a week to make a decision. Simply say I’m reviewing the offer and benefits and need a week to make a final decision. Unless the offer is through a staffing firm you don’t need to rush but a week is acceptable.
