    Default the position is well suited to my skills

    Hi,

    Question:
    Which sentence does native speaker prefer?

    Sentence1:
    I am sure that the position is well suited to my skills.
    Sentence2:
    I am sure that my skills are well suited to the position.

    Thanks

    I prefer #2.

    I'm not sure why.

    I think the "why" is because the intended audience is looking for a person to fill his position, not the other way around.
