Partially true. The company does spend money and time on applicants who come to interview. I believe the interview team appreciates having some disclosure up front so that they understand the situation prior to committing for an individual interview. If this person wants to work his situation out with us and develop a solution prior to an interview, I don't believe that's a bad decision. It would be a bad day with money spent and time invested after the job offer is made, for a person to say, "Well, wait, now that I look at this, it's probably not going to work."

I absolutely understand what your saying, but I also understand why he'd want to discuss this before hitting the gas pedal.
