Job Interview Question 40

If you are employed, how are you managing time to interview?

Why would they ask you this question? It’s because they are trying to find out if you are lying to or
‘cheating on’ your current employer. Are you honest? Do they know you’re looking? Are you a
sneak? Did you tell them you were sick? (I hope not.)

Always answer this question briefly:
“I am taking personal time to do this today.”
If there is a need for you to elaborate, you can say: “I am selective about where I interview,
because I only want to consider jobs that would be a perfect fit, so it’s not taking much time away
from work.”
