When I got the present job that I am in now, the senior management also asked me if I applied for other positions, I told them 3 of them, and all are government ministries, and immediately one director turned and nod her head to the other directors. They also further asked the outcome of interviews at those other ministries and I told them. Just be honest and truthful.

3 weeks later, I got the call from them and I accepted the offer.
My issue is I'm jobless for a year. Told them I went for many interviews, both private and public. Never say directly if I got job offer but say I'm waiting for replies. My situation is working against me, don't know how to get around it.
