If offered this position at Gilead Sciences, are you willing and able to meet the travel requirements?

"As a new graduate, regular travel requirements for work will be new to me, but I am certainly excited about the opportunity to travel around the country here at Gilead Sciences. I am young, don't have a family, and have a supportive fiance for my future work travels. Could you tell me how much travel is involved in this position?"

"In my current position, I travel approximately six overnights per month, which is a comfortable pace. I am willing to discuss the travel schedule further and find a solution that works well for Gilead Sciences and my family responsibilities."

First and foremost, be sure to familiarize yourself with the travel requirements of the job before your interview with Gilead. If you have personal or family reasons that prevent you from traveling regularly, you shouldn't have applied for the job. When it comes time for your interview, be prepared to discuss your overall availability to travel and any restrictions you might have. Your interviewer knows that any candidate they consider will have personal things in their life, and they'll appreciate your honesty. You can also openly discuss any current or past travel requirements you've had in your career and how you were able to successfully navigate them.
