I am currently doing an internship in a small company, but haven't signed a contract yet. However, I received a call from a HR of a big company. It's about summer internship, which is five months later. He asked me about the other internships I have applied for. And I told him all, including the name and the one I'm currently working for. Will he inform the company I am currently working for? Because in that way, the company I'm working for now will know I plan not to work for them long. Or should I go ahead and inform my current employer myself?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

I should point out that I consider it unprofessional of him to have asked you this in the first place. It isn't actually his business where else you've applied.

He might as a way to get a reference from your current supervisor. Course you do realize that your current employer could sabotage your chances of getting the job if your supervisor decides to bad mouth you to the new company which is quite possible. While you may think this could work in your favor, there is also the potential for backfire here here.

"if your supervisor decides to bad mouth you to the new company which is quite possible." - Most companies will only say you worked there. You leave your company open to litigation if you say anything other then that.
