Not to be too outing, I've applied for several roles in my current place of work. Permanent and temporary. I didn't get any of them. My CV is great, I interview well and my feedback is alway great but...My face doesn't fit. I have caused trouble for two of my previous line managers which has, in turn, caused trouble for their line managers. I've always been right but it's not made me popular. To cut a long story short, another job has come up. I know I won't get it as there is someone else applying who is more experienced but I'm a better fit for the job. I don't want to put myself through it. But it's the role I've been applying for elsewhere. The process is full on and will cost me a huge amount of time and energy I can ill afford at the moment. But... if I don't go for it I'll kick myself. If I go for it and don't get it I'll feel utterly humiliated again. WWYD?
