try and hire: they will put you at work on temporary contract for at least 1 year (up to 4). When they know you can do the job you might be hired depending on the overall department results. Same thing applies when you want to move up for a higher position. You will start doing the job (without benefits) and after 1 or 2 years you might get that opportunity for real. The interview is not the problem as far as the real hiring process takes place at a later stage..
