We are quite short staffed. When would you be available to start?
"I would need to give my employer 2 weeks' notice. Due to my length of employment, I may need to work an additional week, if they were to request it of me, to aid in the transition of my replacement."
"I am looking to start my new career immediately. I could start as soon as possible."
Before your interview, make sure you have a start date in mind for the new employer. Whether you need to give two weeks to your previous position or are unemployed and can start right away, be prepared with an affirmative answer. If you are currently working, you should always show professionalism by offering 2 weeks' notice to your current employer. Show that you are professional and reliable in all situations.
"As a professional courtesy, I would like to give my current employer 2 weeks' notice. I could start anytime after that."
