If your interviewer determines that you are a serious and top candidate for the job at Bayer, this may be a curveball question that gets thrown your way near the end of the interview. They pose it to see if they'll be in competition for your services and if you are under a timeline for a decision on an offer.

"I'm four months from graduation, and I just started applying to reputable pharmaceutical companies this month. This is my first interview so far, and I want you to know that I hold Bayer in the highest regard."

"Yes, I am active in my job search and am in the final interview stages with another company. If I receive an offer from Bayer, my family and I will be considering many factors like the benefits package and relocating to a new area. So far, we love what we learned about Bayer and this region and see it as a great fit for us."

The hiring manager will be quicker to pursue you if they are aware that you are actively looking for a new position. Feel free to speak openly about your current job search and if you have any current offers in hand. While you don't have to divulge details on where you are applying, interviewing, or mulling an offer from, them knowing you are considering other places can help speed things up in your favor if you are the top candidate for Bayer.
