Always intrigues me how folk just prefer to tittle-tattle about who will get what, mutter, mutter; I'm not worthy, it's not fair, why should they get it when I can't, etc.
If you want the job, why not just apply for it? You might just surprise yourself. I once got plucked from obscurity from 200 applicants and was given a job for which I didn't hold paper qualifications and had no direct experience. They paid to get me qualified.
