Hi, I’ve been interviewing a great job, client side. The catch: they want someone on site. I have a son w/special needs in a group home near my house, and can’t be so far away from him (would have to fly). I’ve told them I’ve been successfully working remotely since before Covid, I’m willing to come out a week or two every month. Everything short of relo. I know we’re all remote work experts now. What advice do you have that can help strengthen my case for them to hire me? Thanks!

Sounds like you said all the right things! If they don’t want you after knowing your offerings and boundaries, it’s probably not the right place honestly.

Sounds like it may not be the job for yo and you should concentrate on local jobs or jobs that are known to be remote.

It’s tempting to think you can be the one who changes a place into one that accepts remote work, but as a new hire that is a pretty big task. If they could not find another candidate that will take the job, then maybe...but you’d have to be a real rock star to be worth them changing their expectations and work flow.

It feels like we are friends who sleep together. I can’t tell if it’s healthy or if we just have no emotional spark. Idk... I feel like wanting romance is not a bad thing, right?
