As you approach the end stages of the interview process with Bristol-Myers Squibb, your interviewer will want to gauge if they will be competing for your services should you emerge as their top candidate. It always puts a little fire under the hiring manager if they are aware that you are actively looking for, or even considering an offer on, a new position elsewhere.

"I have been keeping an eye out for viable positions over the last couple of months and am very selective with what I feel would be a great fit for me. I am not in the final stages with any other company, and I love what I am learning today about a future career with Bristol-Myers Squibb."

Openly tell the interviewer about where you are in your search so far. If you have applied to or are interviewing elsewhere, you can be as honest as you want to with your interviewer about where things stand. Directly giving names of other organizations you are considering is not required, but you should disclose where you are in the process. Stress that Bristol-Myers Squibb is at the top of your wish list on coming to work.
