To gauge a company's openness to remote work during a job interview, Stanford University's communication expert Matt Abrahams suggests framing questions tactfully.
Instead of directly asking about remote work, inquire about office dynamics: "How often are people in the office? Do some work virtually, or is there a hybrid model?".
This approach allows insight without alarming managers. As organizations navigate post-pandemic work structures, subtle inquiries like these can provide valuable information to job seekers. Abrahams emphasizes the importance of strategic communication in job interviews to glean pertinent details without jeopardizing prospects.
