[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just have to know that even if telecommuting is an option, people like me would resent you asking during the interview process. If you're willing to blow the job, ask away and don't waste your time. As a general comment, if you are interested enough in the job to apply and consider interviewing, it is foolish to risk it by asking about commuting [u][b]just to save time[/b][/u]. You can learn a lot about the market, what employers are like, and even about yourself and your market value by going through the interview process.  [/quote]

THIS is the issue.  For OP, it's not just to save time, it's whether or not the job is realistic for her.   That's the point one PP was making I think, telecommuting can be seen as a benefit (like leave, gym memberships) OR for some people it's a major feature of the job (like the nature of the work, amount of travel).[/quote]

Right, but beware that many employers will not appreciate candidates who view telecommuting as a feature of the job rather than a benefit.  It's risky to treat it this way in an interview IMO, even if that's how you feel.  [/quote]
