Quote From Ll2413:
Hi. I recently was invited to a Skype interview for a post-doc (Microbiology) at a major university in the US. The interview took place in a boardroom with about 9 people including the PI, where I presented my research on a PowerPoint (they had already checked my references prior to my interview which they regarded as excellent). The team is fairly interdisciplinary with a keen interest in having a post doc with a strong microbiology background. I have about 6 months before I submit my PhD. During the interview I was able to answer every question that was posed and did appear to impress them when asked what my contribution to their work would be. They then said that they have been looking for someone with my skills for a while now. They then spoke amongst each other about bringing me there before my PhD was awarded or even before my oral defence ( I could then fly back and have it) and hire me as a research assistant until my PhD was officially awarded. They then had the administrative assistant ask me about when I'm going to finish, with the main interviewer saying ' we don't need to do anything yet as there is still time before he completes' We then closed the conversation, suggesting they still needed to deliberate. I sent an email a day later ( asking when I should hear back) and got a very nice response saying it was nice to talk to me and that everyone enjoyed my presentation. They were going to discuss my case and get back to me ( only the administrative assistant was cc'd onto the email).

Does this sound promising in terms of a potential post doc offer?
