IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Please read THIS THREAD about a rebrand for SF.
Contacting a job you've previously declined
- Thread starter puffymilk
- Start date
You might want to specify times you're available on Monday (or indicate that you're flexible on time), and if you're also available other days you might want to mention that too. I think that would show a certain amount of eagerness to get the job. I'm not sure if being eager and showing great interest in a job helps you get it, but maybe?
If it's possible to try to trim down the notice period, maybe you could offer to try to do that if it's important (assuming that the eager approach actually helps).

Thanks for sharing the latest news. Definitely sounds like good news so far.
Any company that would hire you will need time on their end to get all the paperwork / HR stuff set up, and create accounts for you on the company's internal tools (IT stuff). Also, in some cases your manager or team lead would take time to put together some onboarding or training materials specifically for you. Any time I have offered to start sooner than 2 weeks, the company always told me they need 2-3 weeks to get ready before I can join. So from my perspective, you do not need to offer to start sooner than a 2-weeks notice allows.
I agree that offering specific time frames (including the time zone) is a good practice when giving your availability to someone for an interview or meeting. For instance:
Monday 2/7: 10am-2pm, 4pm-6pm Eastern US
