They are both correct. based on the tense from your sentence. if the whole sentence talks about the present, like:"I have already finished my jobs so I'm watching TV now". If the whole sentence talks about the past tense, like " I had already finished my jobs yesterday" Hope my explanation is correct.

The 1st one is a "present perfect", and it's used to say an action happened at an unspecified time before now, while the 2nd is a "past perfect" and it's used to express the idea that something occurred (in the past) before another action in the past. Here are 2 useful links which explain both and give examples to clarify the difference: http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/presentperfect.html http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/pastperfect.html

"What's the difference between 'have already been' and 'had already been'? Are both right?" (That's the correction of your questions.)

"What's the difference between....?" should be your question. Both are correct, but you use "have already been" to talk about the present, and "had already been" to talk about a past event.
