How to answer interview question?

I am currently going over possible interview questions and possible answers, so I am prepared for my interview tomorrow.

The one that is currently going through my mind at the moment is the question: When are you available to start?

I’m a bit worried because the first week in May, I have to attend dentist appointments. I don’t want to go off to a bad start, by having time off to go for arranged appointments. It’s not optional to rearrange them.

I do want to start work, and am actively seeking, but how could I answer that question without coming across as ‘I don’t want your job’ when that is not the case?

Regarding start availability, the interviewer may ask if you have any upcoming holidays. Mention you do. If asked if yer going anywhere you can lie n say you'll be outta town.

Alternatively, is it possible for you to go dentist and be back at work within an hour or so? If yes mention it at the interview. If no go for first option.

Now another Q may be "What are you weaknesses?" Be honest! You can fail by saying "I have none." Can be anything from confidence to "I get agitated quickly" n explain why it a weakness/ how it can affect work.

Good luck.
