2. Depend on pay / benefit - Money face
3. Depend on job scope / boss - So now that you hear us, you still not satisfy with us? You don't even know what you want?

Everyone knows its all about money, the hr know also, but they still ask this kind of question to trap candidates. I kana a few times before.
Saying not considering other jobs at all is a sure-backfire answer if u r a fresh grad. cmon, fresh grad no exp, u only apply one job? hr will surely know u r lying thru ur teeth and ur integrity will be questioned. maybe only for experienced specialists can use this answer. even so, no one will oni apply one job, aiming for a single coy. shows how narrow-minded one is. i was asked this qn b4, i was honest and told them i had other offers, but backed it up saying i prob prefer the one im interviewing for and give a strong reason. With this, i told them to get back to me asap. And i got the job (a stat board) within 2 days
