From your name it sounds like you are female and therefore were likely to have been given preference over male applicants for the job. So get down off your high horse. In Australia if you are a straight white male you are at the back of the queue.
Some people who get jobs know someone in the company, some pay for the endorsement and some are members of minority groups such as women or ethnics.
You may well have been employed over better applicants in order to "make up the numbers", remember that.
