Recruiter asked me how’s the job market….

What kind of questions are these?

How does one respond to this? Like no shit it sucks and I’m talking to you bc I don’t have one??? Or was it just another way of asking are you interviewing with others?

But on a serious note - I’ve been noticing questions along the same phase coming in a lot. What’s the best way to respond?
