Yup,tell the truth but don't get hung up on it.Tell them you're interested in the company and would possibly think of returning again in a part or full time position.Don't discount anything. Always leave that door open and even if it doesn't work out,other doors will open.

Here's a trick I used once.I told the company that I was interviewing for that if they passed me over for someone else,could they please give me a letter of reference on what they saw of me in the interviews.Believe it or not they agreed, and the reason I was hired by another company was because the first company said they wished that they could have taken me on.How do you like that.As long as you show interest and initiative you'll do good. Never discount anything and always tell the truth.
