QUESTION 12 OF 25

If you were hired, when could you start?

Show that you respect your employer enough to give them time to fill your position. The interviewer will interpret this as the way you would treat the new job. If you are so excited and say you could start tomorrow, that could come across as impulsive, and likely that you don't even care about your current job. Show enthusiasm while being conscientious and respectful towards your current employer.

"I can start in two weeks. I have some projects I need to wrap up but I am really interested in this opportunity, so if I needed to be more flexible I can talk with my employer."

Anonymous Answer

My company is in the middle of a Sales Conference, and I'm currently committed to multiple events and breakout sessions. I want to give enough notice without leaving my current employer in support so I would be comfortably able to start as soon as late January or early February.
