QUESTION 24 OF 30

With which other companies are you interviewing?

The interviewer would like to know if you are visiting any of Capitol Record's close competitors to discuss similar roles. You are never obligated to disclose who you are interviewing with, and you are usually best not to name any names. Be direct without giving away too much. Let the interviewer know that you are active in your search but are being very discerning regarding your applications, and final decision. You also do not want it to appear that you are putting all of your eggs into this one basket. Think of this as a first date question - you want to show your interest, but also keep some mystery!

"Warner Music has approached me, and one other, to discuss similar roles. I am most familiar with Capitol Records, and this is my preferred role. Do you have a timeline in mind for this decision?"

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I know the music industry is very tight-knit, and out of respect, I'm choosing to keep the details of my search confidential. There are other labels that have reached out to me as well as other companies that I am speaking with.

Chad's Feedback

Good answer! You are not obligated to disclose who you are interviewing with, and discretion is a good approach. I would suggest concluding your response by indicating that Capitol Records remains your top choice.
