I think it should be up to the person on the panel to declare an "interest". Personally I wouldn't say anything. It's a job interview not a jury and sometimes these things happen. If it is public sector there are several rules about interviews so I very much doubt your history could be taken into account. Go in, give it your best shot, and hope they offer you the position.

Good luck

That seems a slightly short-sighted attitude to me, fine if you're in no hurry to find a job, but there can be all kinds of reasons why the 'first choice' declines or changes their mind, and the 'second choice' wasn't necessarily 'not good enough', just not 'the best we saw that day'.

That's a bit short sighted of you - but if you don't need the job then I suppose you can afford to give a job away.

i couldnt afford to give the job away, but why should have come 2nd best, just because im a single mother, thats how it felt, ive fell lucky, i add a nother interview before that one and got the job, more money, less hours, so ater all the better lady did win meeee lol :T
