@kdfrawg I know but unfortunately that's the way it works. I'll be lucky if no one else goes for it (I've had that happen before) but I can't rely on that either. Ugh! On the up side though I did speak with my manager about how the process works now and she said as part of the recruitment process you can nominate people who you think should be interviewed and she put my name down. It's quite obvious they're expecting me to apply.
