Shit, sorry it was so close Ruby. You really can’t be an imposter if you beat out 70+ people.

The job I've an interview for later has been removed from the job site (it says this job is no longer available on Indeed, I went in to print off the job spec) and the interviewer has asked if I can meet her at the hotel next to the offices (she did this earlier in the week and I assumed it was due to lack of meeting space). I've run out of holiday pay, so taking time off has to be worth while.

Am I overthinking this, or should I contact to check the job is still available? And if the latter how do I do this without sounding rude? It's an apply for direct position, not through an agency.

It might well just be that they've had enough applicants for the moment, and want to remove the role so that they don't have to deal with any more incoming CVs. If you have an interview booked for today, I'd leave any queries and take it on trust if you can as if they'd found someone ideal and an offer accepted, why would the Hiring Manager waste their and your time with an interview? I hope that's not overly Pollyanna-ish, and good luck!

Not at all, and I did wonder if I was overthinking it. Good point about wasting their time as well as mine, they would have nothing to gain from it so I'll go back to worry about the interview itself.

Skips, I’d presume the advert wasn’t showing as they were now in the process of interviewing to fill the role than anything else. Or they only had it listed until x date.

I have a job offer! So I've handed in my notice and they've asked me to give them till Monday to accept the other offer as they want to keep me here. I've agreed but have said that I need permanent work so I won't stay without an offer, so I'll have to see what happens.

No, I've not heard anything from them. This is the interview I went for yesterday.
