What is your availability for this role? Do you have any specific requirements we need to take into consideration?

It is critical to consider your availability for any role prior to an interview. Take the time to determine how much notice you will need to offer your current employer, whether or not you want to work part-time or full-time, if you need time off for a planned trip, any any specific working hours requirements you may have.

Disclose your availability honestly, but only provide enough information to answer the question. For example, if you're hoping to avoid working on weekends, you can wait to negotiate that aspect of your availability later if you receive an offer. The goal here is to note any must-have schedule accommodations so that your interviewer can make an informed hiring decision.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
