[quote=Anonymous]I never asked question about commute or kids.  With that said, I have had a long commute, and currently have a moderate commute.  Kids is such a personal question.  And there are so many sides.

But, what I have learned is the resume usually tells me if the person is competent or not (assuming they are not lying).  So, I usually use an in-person interview to see if they will fit in our culture.  Our shop is innovated and family friendly.  What I mean by family friendly is we understand emergencies come up.  We will deal with it.  It does not mean that, since you have kids you don't pull your weight.

As an example, I often ask the following question:  A fellow employee has a family emergency -- the child was self harming.  He left the office with short notice even though there was an important customer meeting.  As he is leaving, since he can't find his manager, he approaches you and asks for help on the task.  What do you do?  How do you feel?

(In my case, there is no perfect answer but there are wrong answers.  For example, letting the meeting fall on the floor. )[/quote]
