Hello,
I got my final interview today, and I was asked whether I applied to one of the top tier competitors,
I got nervous and said that I did not (Not True), because I did not like the atmosphere during the campus recruitment event of that companies(True)
The interviewer said hmmm, and took a note of this,
Do you think she will be checking with the other two firms whether I have an application, if so is this too bad?
Thanks all in advance.
Thanks! I just thought maybe they have friends and they can/may talk and if that is common? I did not want to tell it because the other process was not succesfull.
It's highly unlikely. In anycase it's a minor issue. People don't expect candidates to be 100% truthful in these questions. Although you did yourself a disservice, as if you get an offer from a competitor and need them to speed up the process, it's going to be an awkward conversation...
