"I would expect to be in the office Monday through Friday during working hours. I understand that in this field, it is sometimes necessary to work outside those hours to address client needs. Depending on the day or the time, I may not be able to be in the office outside working hours; however, if there is an arrangement to work from home, I am happy to tackle work assignments at any time."
