"Since I recently completed my pharmacy technician training program, I'm eager to find my first job and get started right away. If offered this position, I could start as soon as my paperwork was processed. I don't have any upcoming travel or appointments planned, so I would be fully available to start and commit to training and onboarding."

"If I accepted a new position, I would need to give my current employer a two-week notice. After that notice period, I would be able to start with the NHS right away. Do you have any concerns about that time frame?"

Many healthcare facilities and pharmacies are short-staffed; if that is the case for the NHS, they are likely looking for someone who can start as soon as possible. If you plan to give your current employer a notice period, be honest about your availability to start so that you can have a conversation with the interviewer on whether that aligns with their timeline. If you can train on off-shifts, you could offer that as a way to start sooner.
