[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DO NOT ASK. That is a POST offer question. [/quote]

How come if it is something important to OP?[/quote]

Because the interview isn't about what's important to the candidate.  The interview is about what's important to the organization.

Once they decide they want you, then the ball's in your court and you need to figure out if you want them, and can ask those questions, but during the interview phase the candidate's focus needs to be on proving that you are the best fit for the job. [/b] [/quote]

All of this.

Your job during the interview process is to make yourself - unquestionably - their top candidate.  Once you are and have an offer in hand, then you talk about what you need for the job.  I personally would not ask about 2x/week telework at the start - ask for one day and then, once established, you can ask to bump it up.

I am a hiring manager and am extremely generous with flexibility (I have young kids, so I GET it).  That said, it annoys me to no end when people ask about these things in the interview.  Sell yourself first.[/quote]
