I've just applied to my dream position at my dream work place. The job posting doesn't close until February, and then from there the place normally takes 2-3 months to make a decision. This is standard for this particular place. 

Now how can I guarantee that I'll get an interview while knowing it'll take potentially 3 months to hear anything? I tend to not visualize anymore, so should I just go with feeling like I have it? I'm trying to stay positive in my current position and ignore all that I dislike about the place because I know that adding resistance could really screw things up for me.

As it stands now, I'm more focused on getting a new position rather than trying to attract back a guy i briefly dated.
