Rick, I would be stepping into a role that would require no training. It's a role that was recently vacated and I could move right on in. Also, I'm presently employed but my job will be eliminated in 3 months. The prospective employer in this case has no knowledge of any of that.

I know for a fact they haven't filled the position. I have a feeling that, because they knew the previous employee was leaving soon, they made plans for a co-worker to fill in until they could hire someone. They may actually be testing this employee to see if they would fit and promote from within.

That or they just think I suck.

With that in mind is there any other companies you are entertaining? If you are staring at unemployment, you need to establish that with these hiring firms. Three months will pass by in a blink of an eye, and this does not give you much time to turn around and find another job. Since you are having some doubts as to whether the company you applied for will hire you, I would advise that you apply to more companies.

For your current living arrangements is relocating a problem? If you cannot relocate, yet can work from home you might can find remote jobs as a sub contractor to fill in time as you look for full-time employment. If you are prepared for unemployment and can burden a few months without work, you might succeed with your passive approach. I feel as if you should establish with this firm you have applied to that you need an answer due to your current position expiring in 3 months.
