24. Company ABC has facilities in multiple locations. Would you be willing to locate if a position is available in a different city/town?
How to Answer
While relocation may not be a requirement for the job for which you are applying, if Company ABC has more than one location, the interviewer will almost always ask this question. The important thing to remember with this question is be honest. If you don't want to move, that's fine. It's better to say that now than to accept the job and then have conflict later if you are asked to relocate. The interviewer can make note of your location preference while trying to find a suitable position for you.
1st Answer Example
"I am not married and have no children at this time. Also, most of my family live in other states. Because of that, I am open to the possibility of relocation. I would love to hear about any opportunities within Company ABC and where you feel I could be an asset."
2nd Answer Example
"While I am not opposed to relocating, I would like to stay within 75 miles of this location. My parents are older and I like to be able to look in on them and be close enough that I can to them within an hour or so if an emergency should arrive."
