Every interview process is exhaustive, and one way to determine a good fit is by determining how familiar a qualified candidate is with the company or the position. For example, as advertised on their website, "Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, with employees around the world, General Motors is a company with a global scale and capabilities. Employing over 155,000 people, serving six continents, operating across 22 time zones with a diverse workforce speaking 75 languages." To find the best candidates for any position and where they'd fit into their team, the interviewers need to evaluate how well the needs of their company and the needs of their employees align.

"I'm interested in the opportunity and growth in my partnership with my employer. If relocating or travel is part of that package, I am ready and willing."

If you're willing to travel for work or have in the past, volunteer it. If you're not open to traveling, don't say no. If you weren't aware travel was a prerequisite for the position, ask if it is. Tell them you're interested in the position and that you'd be open to discussing it further, but your understanding of what constant business travel looks like doesn't fit into your current lifestyle. Ask more questions about the position, be flexible, and be open to negotiation. There may be room for advancement from within, for which a willingness to travel may be a prerequisite.
