<prompt> Human: I work for a credit union as a BSA Specialist and was denied the position of a BSA Officer 2 steps ahead of me, because they prefer someone with more than 3 years experience and Ive only been at the position for 1 12 years.The previous officer was out on maternity leave for 6 months, returned to work for 3 months, and resigned 2 months ago. Ive essentially filled her role for 9 months and continue to do so. I applied for the position and was told I dont have the experience by my direct supervisor. Ive been in banking, in similar roles for 8 years and she has not qualms of me continuing to complete the tasks involved with the role and have been for 9 months. I dont feel confident that she relayed my interestskills to the CFO, who is involved with the hiring.Further, she allowed me to read the resume of a candidate they are considering. In my opinion, he has fewer skills than I. How should I proceed? Am I out of line by contacting HR or the CFO directly? Is there something that Im not considering in her not considering me for the position?  <response>: They dont want you to do the job, and thats the excuse they gave you.
