An HR Specialist could be located at a corporate headquarters with several locations in the area, around the country, or even around the world. The interviewer wants to know if you are willing to travel to their locations when needed. They also want to see if you are passionate about continuing your development through seminars, conferences, or other training.
The job posting should have stated how much travel would be involved in the job. When you answer this question, be honest. If you are open to only a certain type or amount of travel, let them know. Discuss your interest in learning opportunities to increase your HR knowledge and skill set.
"I love to travel! I know the job posting stated travel was 25% of the job, and I am ready to travel as much as you need me to. I would ask to have 24 to 48 hours of notice to allow me time to get some personal arrangements made, but if an emergency came up, and I needed to leave right away, I could make it work. I am also always open to any type of learning opportunity. I would gladly attend any seminar, conference, or training the company wanted me to attend, whether it was local during my lunch hour or further away and required overnight travel."
