I am applying for jobs. For various reasons I am unable to start working until around 2 months from now. Should mention this in my cover letter as I apply for jobs, or leave that information for interviews? I don't want to get my resume binned because I can't start right away if the hiring process is over a month anyway, but I'm unsure if this is a legitemate concern.

I would leave that off your cover letter. The href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/reason">reason being is if you come into the interview(s) and make great impressions, then a company would most likely consider you still even with a few months to go till you are available.

Yes this won't always be the case, some positions are immediately needing to be filled, but for a stellar candidate, companies will wait sometimes.

Also, probably wouldn't want to offer that up in the first interview (if it's a multiple interview set up).

Another also, 2 months really isn't that far into the future if this is a multiple interview set up, or a large company that requires approval from managers, execs, and HR. There's a lot of red tape to cut through to bring on new people.
