[quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP, I can't believe how upset you're being at not getting a job for which you didn't apply!

You really think that the head would say,  yes, I will endorse you and only you for the job? Do you realize that from her perspective, she gave the only response that is appropriate, which is, you should apply, but I can't guarantee you an offer?

You are more interested in saving face than in entering the job market. Please take a hard and realistic look at your position. You have been out of the job market for 10 years. A decade. You are a good, even great *volunteer.* But that does not equal full-time paid employee.

You are acting as though your relationships with the people at this organization ought to trump everything, including professional considerations. Despite what you (and others on this board may say), relationships that you build through networking are NOT everything. They are important, they get your foot in the door, but they do NOT guarantee a job offer. Ultimately, they are going to hire the best person for the job, who may or may not be you.[/quote]
