Does This Sound Like What God Would Say?

Matthew 6:33, "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

I would say sometimes God may hold back a position that we know is right for us, because He has something better planned for us. In all things though, if we put anything before the Lord, in terms of desire or need, then that can lead us from Him. If you feel He told you that maybe you have reached more for the job than for the Lord and He is gently reminding you who is in control.

Could be.

I don't know. I don't even know what he is saying to me, never mind anyone else. I was in an almost identical position recently. I had been desperate for the job, then, over time (it was a church job, beginning September) my feelings grew less intense and I began to think that maybe he was preparing me for the fact that I wouldn't get it. I did put an application in, because I felt I needed to, but asked the Lord to make it really clear to me and prevent me from doing the wrong thing.
I didn't get the job.

If you're really not sure then you could always put an application in and ask the Lord to confirm, or otherwise, what you felt he was previously saying. If he does want you to be closer to him, put him first and rely on him over and above a job, you won't get it.
