Are you willing to travel for work?
Most positions with RSM detail whether you are expected to travel for work towards the bottom of the job description, and in most cases, they say "Travel: Yes." This interview question aims to assess whether you thoroughly read the job description, how flexible you are to meet the expectations of this role, any limitations you have regarding the distance you are willing to go, and how frequently you are willing to travel. How you answer will help them determine how far you are willing to go to perform in a manner that best benefits the company, and thus helps determine your ambition and how far you could potentially take your career.
Cappfinity states on their website, "We are committed to matching the world to its perfect job. Our preparation hub provides you with guidance and technical support to help you prepare for an assessment as well as feel comfortable and confident in your approach." So, be completely honest when answering this question. Agreeing to travel for work when doing so isn't conducive to your career goals or your job satisfaction will neither serve you nor your potential employer.
Keep in mind, Cappfinity will likely assess your comfort level by evaluating how honestly you answer this question. Common non-verbal cues used to identify dishonesty are stroking your chin, covering your mouth or your eyes, gaze avoidance, the direction of your gaze, excessive fidgeting, such as restless foot and leg movements, frequent body posture changes, and grooming behaviors such as playing with hair or pressing your fingers to lips.
