If they ask you how long you've been instructing, answer with, "I've been an instructor for XXX days/months/years (However long it's been singe you did your CFI checkride)"
Do you think it would be more credible to say I've been an instructor for 14 days? Just curious cause that was my situation. My students learned they were my first students and everything went well. Be ready to learn a lot with your first few students, both about teaching and aviation. They will ask questions you have never thought about before. Don't BS.
