"Shoe in" means that the position (job) or the contest you are competiting in that you are the perfect candidate or competitor that you must win (get the job).
"Thereabouts" is a saying that means that is very similar or close enough to real answer to be considered to be accepted for the exact answer.
Good Luck!!!

Shoe in, properly spelled shoo in, means a sure thing.
It came from horse racing, and originally referred to a fixed race in which a certain horse would win even if he had to be shooed in over the finish line.
