The interviewer asks this question to see how soon you could start if they offer you the position. They want to hear if you can start immediately or if you need to give two weeks' notice to your current employer.

If you are currently unemployed, it is best to say you can start immediately as it shows you are eager to get to work. If you need to give two weeks' notice, focus on telling the interviewer that you need to give your notice but can start sooner if your current employer fills your position before two weeks.

If you are currently employed, avoid saying you can start immediately. If you do not give two weeks' notice to your employer, the interviewer will determine that you lack respect for your employer and may question hiring you.

"I am currently working with another company and would need to give two weeks' notice to my supervisor. If they were able to cover my position sooner than two weeks, I could start earlier."
