Where else are you applying for a job

It is okay to admit to interviewing at other firms, but do not say where.If pressed, politely decline to say.While it is alright to convey the idea you are wanted, it is a bad idea to get into a sparring match dropping names of other firms, positions, and salary.Do not it communicate the impression that this job is a fall-back or that your first choice lies elsewhere.Above all, if you are seeking a different type of job elsewhere – or in a different industry altogether – dont admit it.  You may be covering all your bases in a tough economy, but it will only alarm the interviewer to know you are considering jobs in widely divergent fields.
