Job interview

[Dawnb1183]

Had a job interview today and the interviewer at the end asked me if I could hold off from applying for more jobs. Does this sound promising? Is it common to be asked this?

be noncommital and just carry on?

That’s a bit cheeky of them. I’d ask what their decision timelines are and what stage they are in the process. If it’s just a few days until a decision I would tell them I wasn’t applying for anything else, but in reality if I saw something good I’d still apply. You owe them nothing.

I find out the decision tomorrow after they have interviewed two other people. She asked me if I could hold off applying for other jobs till then

How weird.

I am applying for jobs right now. I am using the "apply for everything, even where you only hit about 70% of the criteria" (aka: what would a man do?)

And one interview they asked me about my other applications. Privately I'm thinking "get outta here, it's my business not yours" but what comes out of my mouth (since they know i am currently not employed) is "i am lucky that i don't need to get a job, so i am only applying for something if it is really interesting"

If they asked me to hold off applying? i'd be noncommital in a way that thinks I'm agreeing with them, without actually agreeing with them.

ETA: also Good luck, @Dawnb1183

Good luck but if you see something you want to apply for then do it.
