Hopefully she'll know more and be able to elaborate more before you hear back about the interview's outcome.

Sounds like it went well. Hopefully, your boss with have some insight into what might be available in your department before a decision is made so you are able to look at all your options.

taz/almost40 - I hope so too. While I would love this purchasing position, I really love my department and would be totally open to staying. I'm not actively trying to leave them, but I will apply for internal positions that interest me while I wait for something in a higher capacity to open up.

debthaven - they have interviews into next week, so they probably won't make a decision for another week or two.
My boss pulled me aside to talk about it. She is REALLY hinting that something greater might be available in my department soon, but she is still unable to elaborate. Something tells me that time is going to CRAWL by for the next couple of weeks LOL! Your boss must be SO frustrated LOL! Hopefully she will be able to share her news sooner rather than later! This said, even though you love her, you need to take the best job, with the best possibilities for you. ETA: I'm really glad I told you to check out the suits! Every woman needs a well-fitting suit.

update: the purchasing position was filled by another candidate due to "the department's needs and that candidate's skill set."

I'm sorry, Jenny. Was it an internal person? They may have already had that person in mind when they posted the job app (my place does that ALL the time.) Any word on the position in your department?

no official update on my department, but when I told my boss the news about not being offered the position she said that it was too bad, but she thinks it will work out better this way anyway. Gee, can you be more cryptic? I'm hoping there is a promotion coming my way.

I'll bet there is.
My boss makes the same kind of comments when I start expressing my concern that my project funding runs out at the end of this year. He always says "Don't worry about it, it's taken care of." Okay, but how?? Frustrating!

we have a department meeting on 7/31, so I'm hoping that more will be explained at that time. I am not expecting anything, but I could sure use a promotion. While we can afford our home and expenses, it's getting tight - especially when all this unexpected shit keeps breaking.

I'm sorry MJ!
It sounds like there's something good on the cards for you though. I hope you hear soon!

At least now the know you're serious about moving up. Ditto. Knowing you are prepared to leave for a better job is always a good think for a boss to know. Hope it all works out in the end.
