      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      When recruiting for a highly specialized position, I've seen hiring managers use pointed questions like this to learn if they'll have to compete for their top candidate. Since Kimberly-Clark operates across many different consumer product lines, they're very used to their candidates considering roles with their competition.

      2nd Answer Example

      "I am active in my search and previously have interviewed with two of your local competitors. With one, I have advanced to a second interview. With the other, I participated in a telephone interview just yesterday. With that said, I am most interested in this role with Kimberly-Clark. This position is the best fit for my education and experience, and your corporate values of authenticity, accountability, innovation, and caring describe the kind of environment in which I believe I'd be most successful."
