Interviewer: Are you available immediately?
Candidate: NO
This is a very bad response to give. The question might sound simple, but it can really affect what the employer thinks of you. Let me spill a little secret on how you can give a professional answer from your favorite recruiter ๐
๐If youโre available immediately
โYes, Iโm available to start immediatelyโ
๐If you need a short notice period
โI can start within [x days/weeks] notice, as I need to wrap up some current commitmentsโ
๐If you need more time
โI have some prior commitments that require me to give [X weeks/months] notice to my current employer. However, Iโm eager to join your team and can start as soon as that notice period is complete.โ
๐If youโre not available immediately
โI am currently not available immediately due to [mention the reason, such as vacation, ongoing project, etc.]. However, I can start on [specific date].โ

STOP messaging HR/others like this if you're looking for internships/jobs! 90% of people will not respond. Itโs generic and obviously a LinkedIn prompt - not many people will respond to such a dry approach.
Hereโs how to message recruiters to actually impress them!
First, it's best to tailor every single introductory message. Try to refer to something the individual/company has accomplished, industry trends, etc., to stand out. I'll write more about this in a separate post. BUT if you don't have time, you can follow the below template.
1. If youโre messaging/emailing a recruiter who has shared a vacancy:
Immediately introduce yourself! Do NOT send just โHelloโฆ can I apply.โ
Share your:
1. Background
2. Career goals
3. Reference the vacancy they shared
4. Top skills/strengths (important!)
5. Attach a CV
Template:
Dear [Name],
Iโm [Your Name], [brief background]. Iโm passionate about [specific field/industry] and keen to take up a role in [desired field]. I saw the [vacancy title] position you recently shared, and I believe Iโm the right fit because [brief reason].
My top 3 skills relevant to the role are:
1. [Skill 1 - expand on your jobscope/achievement]
2. [Skill 2 - expand on your jobscope/achievement]
3. [Skill 3 - expand on your jobscope/achievement]
[If they ask for additional details, such as expected salary/other, include here]
Attached is my CV for your consideration. Thank you.
[Your Name]
[Contact Details]
2. If youโre messaging an HR person to inquire about vacancies at their company, DONโT just dump your CV.
Share your:
1. Background
2. Career goals
3. Ask about vacancies
4. Share why youโd like to apply to their company (a must!)
5. You could share your CV, but also ASK if there's a better avenue to submit your CV.
Template:
Dear [Name],
Iโm [Your Name], [brief background]. Iโm passionate about [specific field/industry] and keen to advance in this industry.
Iโd like to inquire if there are available positions in the [desired field] at your company. I would love to apply to your company because [brief reason].
Please find attached my CV, or could you kindly direct me to the right avenue?
Thank you for your kind assistance.
[Your Name]
[Contact Details]
Taking the time to highlight your relevant skills and career goals will pay off because it helps recruiters quickly see why you might be a great fit for their advertised positions. If you make their job easier, they're more likely to reply and/or favour you as a candidate!
