No, My DH was in an acting role for 3.5 months and when the time came they said he was pretty much right but they still had to advertise. Turns out someone better must have applied because he did not get the job afterall. Lucky though because so much drama in that department I think he was better off
Goodluck, Hopefully if they see you as a better candidate then they will go with you too.
Hmmmm interesting. Thanks guys! I did also feel a bit of negativity from one of the panel as my past experience was very applicable but perhaps not gained in the most traditional roles. Oh well, what will be, will be I guess Thanks again!
There's always a lean towards in the incumbent simply because they SHOULD be able to tailor their examples to the position, but often many don't utilise this advantage. But when applying for jobs, don't hesitate to apply for something you want simply because someone has acted in it before. The number of people I've seen who get a job simply because no one else has bothered to apply would surprise you. AND just because you don't get a job doesn't mean the panel won't note your interest in the position or your skills should something else come up.
I tell my team all the time, apply if you want it. If you do nothing, you get nothing.
OK thanks everyone. They actually contacted one of my references today. Not sure how much that means. I stuffed that up a little though as I was so sure I didn't get it that I didn't bother to text her for a couple of hours and then only did it as a just in case. She had agreed to be a reference for jobs but I didn't yet tell her I had the interview for that particular job. So they had actually contacted her before I texted her.
But on another note I got an interesting email this morning. I don't post threads too often but will post another about this one. LOL
