Have you been doing lots of interviews?
Have you been doing lots of interviews?
(OP)
I'm a semester or so out of college and not currently working. In all my interviews where I've met many of the people I'd be working with, I've been asked (by supervisors, managers, VPs) "so, have you been doing a lot of interviews?"
I've always been honest with them. Is there a right or wrong answer?

RE: Have you been doing lots of interviews?
The first time I was asked I told the guy that I had done a few and been getting lots of interest, he just nodded. I told the VP that I hadn't been looking until recently, but had been having some success with local companies, he nodded and talked about why they like locals. I can't remember the other time.
I was never asked walking around the building, or by anyone I'd be working with regularly. It's always been in an office and by someone higher up in the company. Although they say it casually, I get the feeling from them that they care.
RE: Have you been doing lots of interviews?
When an interviewer asks "have you been doing lots of interviews?" he or she is making small talk, and probably won't even pay attention to the answer. "A few" or "several" would be fine answers, a consise interview history would not.
Again it is just small talk, relax and don't worry about it, they are not trying to extract any real information.

RE: Have you been doing lots of interviews?
If the employer is interested in hiring you....he/she is not going to care how many interviews you've had. However, I recommend being honest with the answer regardless of the question.
