I've been involved in one particular interviewing process where there was a hair's breadth between the top 2 candidates. The degree to which you were second pick may be minimal! Also, once you've started, you'll be judged on the quality of your work, and the interview process won't count for anything.

My 8 year old son regularly tells his teammates at his Union club that he'd rather be playing Rugby League because it's better. I don't know if he'll ever play for Ireland or anything, but I'm hopeful he'll have a long career of hiding Union mags at newsagents.
