It took me 7 months to find a contract job

last year. I really don't like the job that much, but I took it because I was desperate. Its supposedly contract to hire after 6 months, but there is no guarantee.

Today the manager from a job I interviewed at in October emailed me to ask if I was still available. It was something I really wanted and was disappointed I didn't get it. Had a phone interview and 2 in person interviews, heard nothing and then finally got a "no".

So I emailed back and said I was a couple of months into a contract but I would be interested in making a change for a permanent position.

I am wondering what will happen next - are they going to re-interview me or make me an offer? Or was she just testing the waters? I think they interviewed a lot of people the first round.
