I’ve got one on Tuesday that looks like my best shot at a new job since I got laid off in the summer. It’s with a vice president of the company and the person whose position I’m filling since she got promoted
I’m just a little weirdo, I don’t know how to make them want to hire me 
Ask why the last person left
Good advice. I’d phrase it as ‘How has this role become available?’ because it may be backfill/parental leave/new position. May not always be replacing a person who’s left for good.
They said the person they’re replacing got promoted and will be part of the interview
