Employers quite often ask 'who else have you applied to?' You may be tempted to answer - "that is classified information", but they want to know if you have given serious consideration to your future career. If your answer is; 'I've applied for Accountancy, IT Consultancy, Marketing Executive and Sales positions' they may think you are a bit clueless - only you know the answer to that!
If you have applied to a few similar firms you need to point out what attracts you to them. For example, did you meet some of their new graduates who gave the company a glowing reference? Or does their mentoring programme interest you because they seem to be supportive of new graduates?
Be warned, they want to know why you want to work for them,
not why you don't want to work for the other organisations! There
is a great deal of information and advice available on the internet
dealing with interviews.
