Hi Vipin

You can't just say that such questions are none of their business, but you do have to politely but firmly sidestep. Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.

A sample answer could be: " I am looking at another job that has good potential like the one we're talking about. However, I really like the career development opportunities in what we're discussing".

Mention any other jobs you're applying for. You don't have to say specifically where you're applying if you have another offer

. However, they may be interested in where you are in the hiring process with other companies. I was asked the same question once when I went to interview for a job at my current company while also applying for the position of content writer for [url=https://bloxorz.io/]bloxorz[/url]. I still answered truthfully, and there was no problem at all. Because you have the right to apply for many positions while you are still unemployed. If your interviewer inquires, you can also mention that you are actively seeking offers. Unless you work for this company but are applying to another.
