To be honest, and this is PURELY opinion only, not intended to discriminate or offend in any way. Although Bell has mentioned there being no open spots, I do feel it is not well placed that you liken your situation to that of Tig's.

I say this mainly because Tig gave up his old ways and started down a long, hard path to redemption before he was even considering applying for the positions he's rightfully gained over the years, one painful step at a time. I really don't think you and Tig are anything alike in this regard, and that your comparison to the contrary is unfounded.

I do apologise if it does sound like an attack of character, it's not intentional, I just don't think the comparison is a solid argumentative reason to create your own application.
