Public sector.
It's a job within the same organisation, so I can't go around and tell my colleagues what I really think of them even if I get the new role.

I can't offer any advice since you already work in public sector you know the score
Fingers crossed there's no preferred internal candidate

Wait crap I meant private. Why did I type public?
This is the sort of thing interviewers will probably try to trip me up on. Are you secretly working with them?

Too late
I'm sorry, we decided to go with a stronger candidate

Aardvark, chap... you're confusing "can't" with "probably shouldn't" again.
You absolutely can do that.

Thanks DT.
To be fair, I already tell most of them exactly what I think of them, which is nothing.

The subtle genius of the Aardvark at work.
Carry on!
