For several years, I haven't applied for such jobs. Just because I like 
to know who and what I'm negotiating with. I might have missed a great 
job, OTOH they might have missed me. Granted, I would be so harsh if I 
was unemployed, but as long as I have a good job, I think I'm allowed to 
be picky.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, so there's probably less 
applicants for such jobs, therefore easier to be number one.

Once again: correct your attitude. If you don't get hired from an 
interview, that only means you didn't appear to them as The Best of The 
Best of The Best. Sir! There might be many, many reasons and the best 
thing is that you don't actually know them, so you can always just think 
"Nah, they probably hired the bosses son/cousing/lover/addhere" and 
forget that job and move on. If you don't get the job, it doesn't mean 
you failed nor you are hopeless - it *just* means they liked someone 
more than you. Simple as that, end of story, check your calendar for the 
next interview and try harder.
