Related: About this forumIt took me 7 months to find a contract job
last year. I really don't like the job that much, but I took it because I was desperate. Its supposedly contract to hire after 6 months, but there is no guarantee.
Today the manager from a job I interviewed at in October emailed me to ask if I was still available. It was something I really wanted and was disappointed I didn't get it. Had a phone interview and 2 in person interviews, heard nothing and then finally got a "no".
So I emailed back and said I was a couple of months into a contract but I would be interested in making a change for a permanent position.
I am wondering what will happen next - are they going to re-interview me or make me an offer? Or was she just testing the waters? I think they interviewed a lot of people the first round.

(13,448 posts)You told them what you want and they can come back with an offer or not. Don't know what field you're in, but I certainly wouldn't do more than one more interview with them, and that only if you really want the job they're offering.

(17,373 posts)as to why she contacted me.
She emailed me back a few hours later and apologized - said she jumped the gun. She had an open position but it has to be posted and it isn't the same one I was interviewed for. Not really a match.
I am so irritated. I'm really unhappy in my current situation working for a micro-manager control freak.
