21. When would you be available to start?
What You Need to Know
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.
