Plz handle thx: How do I spin only one CB in a given market
Ok, here is my situation guys: I have a few CBs in market A and only 1 CB in market B. The firms in market A aren't in market B. What should I do if the firm in market B asks me who else I am interviewing with while there? Is this going to be a problem for them or no issue at all?

Tell them you have applications out in the area that you haven't heard back from. "If you haven't already, send some applications out to other firms in that market"
Doubtful it will be an issue though. Someone with more experience may know. Might even want to ask in the V15 recruiter thread. I don't think he/she leaves that thread.

can't you just say "Well I've also interviewed with firms a, b, and c" ( and just name oci screeners you've had with firms in that market)

Sure, but what if they ask specifically "while you're here?" My school is not in that market.barry wrote:can't you just say "Well I've also interviewed with firms a, b, and c" ( and just name oci screeners you've had with firms in that market)

EDIT: But generally, say whatever you can without lying that makes them think you want to be in their market. Spin away!

Have your classes started yet?
Tell them you haven't scheduled other interviews during that trip because you don't want to miss consecutive days of class?

just say you're only in the for the day and did not have time to do two cb's, I don't think it's that weird to do only one cb on a tripAnonymous User wrote:Sure, but what if they ask specifically "while you're here?"

Re: Plz handle thx: How do I spin only one CB in a given market
This happened to me last year where nearly all the firms where I was doing callbacks were on one coast and I had a callback at a firm on another coast (and the only firm in that market). I just told the interviewer that I was only interviewing with that firm because I wanted to be in the best firm that does the kind of work in which I was interested. I guess it worked because I got an offer (and they seemed to eat that answer up).
