The rhyme is fine for choosing team members on the playground - but definitely not a smart approach for managing multiple job offers. Here's how to handle the situation professionally - and make the best choice for your career.

"Adulting" at work is hard - especially if you're in the early stages of your career. Here are the rules for being a mature, responsible employee, priming you for a lifetime of career success.

If a hiring manager asks you this rather pointed question, here's how to strike the right balance between desperate and unattainable:

1. If you're interviewing with a competitor: Explain how you're actively exploring options within your industry - but that you're particularly excited about this opportunity.
2. If you're interviewing for jobs in diverse fields/industry: To avoid sounding unfocused/noncommittal, find the common thread that links the jobs you're interviewing for - and make that the focus of your response.
3. If you're not interviewing anywhere else: To keep from sounding desperate, it's best to keep your response general and explain the types of roles and employers you're targeting.
