QUESTION 14 OF 30

This position requires out of town travel at times. Will traveling be a problem for you?

If the interviewer asks this question, they want to ensure you know the job requirements regarding travel and make sure that will not be an issue if hired. At times, American Express Project Managers will need to travel to attend work-related conferences or to inspect a project. If traveling is one of the job requirements, the company should have put that in the job description, so it should not surprise you in the interview.

Focus on assuring the interviewer that traveling will not be an issue when required. Emphasize how you enjoy traveling to new places and how you do not have outside obligations that prohibit you from doing so.

If you want to be considered for the position, avoid saying that you cannot travel when needed. The interviewer wants to hire someone flexible and accommodating with the work schedule. If traveling would be an issue for you, explain why. For example, you might care for an elderly relative or have childcare issues. If you have a valid reason for not traveling, the interviewer can then decide how to proceed with the hiring process.

"No, traveling will not be a problem. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people and look forward to the opportunity to do so with your company."
