Resolved Question

What do you think this means? outcome of interview?

I applied online for job with an energy supplier as an administrator. I went for the assessment/interview and was told that I'be be called with the results a few days later. I received the call while at work and so an answephone message was left. The message from the recruiter stated 'Please call back for the outcome of your interview, I have some great news for you'.
I called back but the recruiter is now out of the office until next week. I logged on to my online application and it has been updated to say that my application for the role cannot be taken any further and that I am no longer under consideration.
I don't understand as the answerphone message said she had 'great news' for me.
They did say at interview that the job I applied for had been filled but that vacancies in other departments may become available.
I am now having to stew all weekend, just wondered if anyone wouldn't mind giving me their opinion?? Thanks

You might not be under consideration because you already have the post!
Good luck, let me know how it turns out!

• Sounds like the job that you applied for has been filled, but that you are being considered for another position.
  
  This was my first reaction when you said that your status says that your application can't be taken any further. The fact that they told you this at the interview confirms it. They wouldn't have told you at the interview that the position you'd applied for had been filled if they didn't have another job that they could interview you for. They would have just called you and canceled your interview -- or they would have just made it really brief and not elaborated on the job.
  
  I think that this is pretty clearly what's going on. Call back when the recruiter is back in town.
• I have honeslty no idea, But this guy sounds unresponsive.
