Before your interview, make sure you have a start date in mind for the new employer. If you are currently working, you should show professionalism by offering two weeks' notice to your current employer. No hiring manager is ever impressed when they hear, 'I can quit my job today and start tomorrow!' Show that you are professional and reliable in all situations.

I would like to notify my current school of my two weeks and let them determine if my departing then is manageable or if they would like me to stay through the end of the school year. Ultimately, I would let them determine my availability date.
