I received this email from a potential employer yesterday and thought that I was close to an official offer from the company. I replied to the email yesterday and I haven't heard from them yet.
Can anyone please help me decipher this message. Is that an indication that I am close to receiving a job offer from the company? Also, they already spoke to my references. Below is the exact email that I received yesterday.
I want you to know that you are being considered for this position and wanted to just go over a few things. We initially discussed a salary of X to start plus you need healthcare insurance as well. I have not gone over vacation time but I am sure there is one to two weeks. You are available to start right way?

- While that sounds promising, I wouldn't take that as any indication that they're "close" to offering you the position. Additionally, the process of getting hired at most companies usually takes more time than you'd like it to. Understand that hiring you (or anyone else) is just one of the myriad tasks they have on their plate. Patience is a virtue. That's not to say that you shouldn't follow up with them or press them for an answer, but also don't expect them to reply to your communication instantaneously.
