job steps synchronous?

Quick question - if I have several steps in a job are they run one after the other or can there potentially be overlap. In one step I create a file and the subsequent step copies it, so I'm concerned that the first completes before the second begins
TIA
Frank SThey are sequental.

My experience is that it is no overlap.
