Like perhaps many of the "posts" are really bullshit and AA/nepotism "work-arounds" ???
And you don't get "attention" by being competent, by the way !!!!
Best of luck though.
Internal matters only if you are a fast tracker, identified in succession planning or if you know the hiring manager and they think you are qualified AND if you have a network of supporters.
If you don't know your succession planning status . . . you have bigger problems.
