Don’t worry; the recruiter will expect you to have other interviews lined up. After all, you were impressive enough to be called in for an interview by them right? The purpose of this question is to ensure your career aims are consistent. So if you are being interviewed by an accounting firm, they don’t expect you to have interviews with a construction company as a bricklayer!

A little bit of sucking up does no harm however so mention that their company is your #1 choice. You can even say you haven’t applied to other firms yet for that very reason. If you do have other interviews lined up, provide examples that are:

☛ Relevant: Related to the job you’re currently applying for.

☛ Highly Rated: Interviews with companies that are held in high regard in the industry.

☛ Consistent: Stick to companies in the same industry.

☛ Successful: Don’t mention rejections!
