This question is generally asked later in the interview. It is always best to be honest and answer this question with full disclosure in mind. The interviewer is asking this question because they want to know how quickly they need to move to avoid you being scooped by a competitor! Always let the interviewer know that you are actively looking, but reiterate why Marriott is your top choice. Feel free to ask the interviewer about their hiring timeline as well!
