How would you handle this? Job search related
So I put my resume on Monster. I got an e-mail from a headhunter who is interested in me for a NJ firm- in Morristown. I live in NYC so the commute would be about 80 minutes.
Now I have a DD who I have to pick up by 6.
Its a great firm and they do have a NY office so perhaps eventually I could be transferred there. If there is some sort of flex hours or if i could work from home some days, I could do it.
SO, how do I tell the headhunter this? Obviously I will express interest in the NY Office, but how do I handle the NJ one. Do I mention that I am a mom? Do I flat out reject it? Do I keep my mouth shut and see what happens?
What do you think?

i would be honest right up front. if you dont tell them about your situation with your DD and you get the job, this could complicate things later on. if they want you theyll work with you. if not it wasnt meant to be. good luck.
