be open to

[englishelp]

Hi,

This concerns one sentence in my draft letter. What I intended to say is

If the Department thinks I am qualified for a position, then I will accept it.

Can I use the following sentence?:

"I am open to any position which the Department considers me qualified for".

I have some doubts over the expression I am using. I think one is usually open to ideas or suggestions, rather than assigned job positions?.

What do you guys think and what would your suggestion be?

Thanks!

Personally, I would say 'I would consider any position...' The reason being that, as you say, 'open to' collocates to 'ideas' or 'suggestions'.
