In all the many interviews I've gone on, I have never been asked by a potential employer why I didn't apply for a position at another company. I would also never ask this when interviewing someone; it is a stupid question IMO. | |

I doubt mentioning another position that you considered applying for (or actually applied for, or were seriously considered for) would help in any way. Mentioning your desired career focus switch would make sense. | |
