Why was I asked at an interview how my job search was going and what type of jobs I was looking for?

Is this really any of their business?
Why was I asked at an interview how my job search was going and what type of jobs I was looking for?
I was asked that at two interviews as well. I think it's their way of seeing how interested you are in this job. I was honest with both employers and I got offered both jobs. I just said I had a couple of other things going on, but after the interview I still sent a thank you note saying I was interested. I now have an AWESOME job. Be honest but make sure they know you're very interested if you are.
Reply:More than likely, they want to understand where you are in your search. If you're far along, or just starting, it helps guide the recruiter/hiring manager if they're interested in you.
Reply:Yes its their business to know what type of person they are going to deal with if you had to be hired.


is a normal stupid old fashion way interview.





Sometimes asking you what type of job you looking for is a way of them to know where you can feet in their project if you are what they are looking for.


so all i can say to you when ever you go and interview always tell the truth about yourself and the things you like and do, who knows you may feet in their list and get hired
