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.

Thanks. I haven't taken a passive approach. I was told of my job elimination at the beginning of the year and have been actively looking and applying. Have had business lunches with a few prospective employers. I've been contacted by a headhunter, etc. However, my severance package and bonus payments are very substantial. 20 years on the job will do that for you. Because of that, I have the luxury to be very selective in what jobs I apply for. I will also get internal placement assistance with my current employer in a few weeks.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, but I've got that covered pretty well. I was just curiious about this particular job and if the delay would fit in with what others have experienced.
