So... Not so fast here. I'm not letting this go so easily. From what I can see, you've explained why you THINK you may not get the job if you applied. The question still remains, why not at least try? I'll ask again, what is the down side? Okay, you may not get it. Is that even really a downside? Will you be in any worse place if you don't get it? But what if you do? plus the expierence would be a good one.
See what you've done now? I now have to agree with Doodler! sounds like you don't want the rejection? Why not at least ask the person who suggested that you apply if you stand a chance? Perhaps come right out and ask if your momentary lapse in judgement would kill your chances.
I really think this will do you good. And if not, what about returning to clinical? Or is the okay cut the problem? If do, I totally understand that - more than I understand the promotion thing! I still say you consider it!
