There are several reasons an interviewer might ask if you know anyone that works for their company. Some companies have an employee referral program that rewards employees who refer qualified candidates who are then hired. Also, studies show that employees with a friend at work are more likely to be productive and motivated in their job. If you know someone at the company, name the person and explain how you know each other.

If you know someone at the company but do not particularly like them, avoid saying anything negative about that person. You can mention how you are acquainted with them, which shows the interviewer that you are not necessarily friends.

"No, I do not know anyone who works for your company. I recently moved to the area and have not met many people yet. If hired, I look forward to making some new friends."
