Went for a senior role recently it needed 2x things managerial experience and very niche knowledge in a particular area.
I hold my hands I definitely thought went well but the feedback said I could have stronger strategically which is more than.
Anyway the person who got it was an internal candidate- he has neither the managerial experience or as specialised a knowledge I do but I obviously scored better on the day hence he got the job. He’s a good all rounder but I was disappointed in myself.
Anyway at the time the interviewing manager said there would another coming up (his) and she’d let me know and want to apply.
They’ve not been in touch but his old job is now advertised.
It’s 12k less. I might not even get it.
And if I did it would/could feel awkward. I’d rather have the senior role and I think I would be good at it so I might resent missing out on that even more.
But it’s an organisation I would like to work for?
But I don’t want to embarrass myself applying when they haven’t been in touch?!
