    Two times in my life I fit what were obviously tailored requirements. In one case I was absolutely more qualified than the internal applicant (this was a very specific type of biological survey that was not common but I had had the good fortune of having done most of the existing work in the world)

    Never heard a word, not even an “are you for real” letter. My references were from the top people in the field too.

        That was my fear doing the whole thing. I guess I was right to be worried. 😁
