I interviewed with an HR consulting firm in early January, but didn't get the job. But I got a call this past Friday about another position available there. (it's in a different department, but a much higher level position). And the position had just been posted that evening.
Anyway, the person who called me (aka my would-be supervisor), said that although my qualifications didn't exactly match what they were looking for, I came highly recommended from the people I first interviewed with.(???)
So here's my concern: My would-be supervisor used the term "courtesy interview" when talking about my coming in to meet with her.
My impression of a courtesy interview is when a company wants to talk to you, but has no intention whatsoever of hiring you.
What do you all think?
MTIA!

My advice is not to try to read too much into it. You are being brought back based on the impression you gave your previous interviewers along with your credentials.
While you may not have been right for the other position; collectively, it is believed that you would be a better match for this position.
So go in there and show your would-be supervisor while you are right for the job. That is - if you want and truly feel that you can do it.
