I received an offer from a job that I really don't want. I haven't accepted yet, because I'm going on my 2nd interview with a job that I DO want. Can I tell my interviewer about my current job offer so as to speed up the process??

It's risky. You're forcing them to make a decision. If you are confident that you will be hired, go ahead and tell them. if you feel like they may need more time to decide, then keep it to yourself.

I wouldn't put them under a time pressure, because you are going to be "out". Just let them know, that you are very intererested in the job and you would like to know, what there dealine is for their descision making. Sometimes you have to go back for a second interview, because there might be many canditates. Call them up a few days after your interview and ask them about the status.

This is where you get a chance to use your judgment and intuition.. if you feel that it is appropriate w/o being pushy, if it fits easily into the conversation ok, but I would definitely not bring it up until somewhere near the end of the interview.. it could be a turn off... no way to know for sure.. judgment and patience.. good luck!!

The tough part is what will you do if you don't get the job you DO want. I don't think telling them will speed up the process, unless you are the one they are considering on hiring.

NO! I have found that to be a bad move. They won't consider you because someone who has the sam qualifications and no job offer will get the job. Just tell them nothing.

You can, but sometimes future employers take that as a lack of commitment or a desire to work specifically for them. They may want someone who really wants to work for them and isn''t going to apply for anyone else. You could say, "I have another job offer, but I REALLY want to work for you."

not advisable, it will make you look like you are calling the shots, but it depends on how much you want the job, if you are willing to gamble it away, go for it.

Only if he/she asks (they usually do)
