Overriding HttpServlet service method

I have a servlet which looks like :

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
             throws IOException, ServletException {
    doTheJob(request, response);
}//method doGet

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
              throws IOException, ServletException {
    doTheJob(request, response);
}//method doPost

private void doTheJob(.....) {
    ...........................
}

}

Because of the way my application works, I only need to call doTheJob() both from doGet() and from doPost(). So I think, I better override the method service() of the HttpServlet.

But I would like to know if that will brake anything or will cause any issues.
