How to Answer: Do you enjoy traveling?
Advice and answer examples written specifically for an Auditor job interview.
11. Do you enjoy traveling?
How to Answer
If you're auditing for a corporation, there's a really good chance that you'll be traveling a lot. I know most internal auditors travel at least 30% of the time. External auditors or contracting companies like PWC and Deloitte travel upward of 90% of the time. Yes, you can do less traveling, bu you're likely to do some, so being open to it is important.
If you don't like travel, be honest as your answer will be applied to for your position. If you hate travel, they could put you on travel limited to 10% or less. Don't lie about your objective. I'll use what I said in my interview below. Be very clear on your priorities and where you stand. If you're fresh out of college with no obligations, that's the time for travel, so embrace it.

Entry Level
"I'm just out of college with no family to rush home to, so I'm free to travel as much as necessary. I'd love to travel oversees to help clients and sightsee in my spare time."

Answer Example
"I have a small child at home and as this is my first job after giving birth to her I do not feel comfortable leaving her alone for long or very often. I am open to it if necessary but I would prefer to be home every night so that she has that consistency. My first priority is my family."

Experienced
"I've been traveling for 15 years in this profession. I've been all over the world including Saudi Arabia, England, and various East Asian countries. I'm open to travel, but my wife is pregnant so I'd like to be home more than I'm away."
