Like the question prior, the interviewer is asking this question to make sure that you understand what the job entails. Also, like the question before they want a short yes or no answer, this time more simply to gauge your level of mental preparation for the toll of the job.

Keep it brief but expand on your yes or no! If you have worked in a role that requires extensive travel before, this is a great time to let the interviewer know! If you have a question about whether the travel is mostly daily car travel or requires air travel and overnight stays, this is a natural time to ask. Make sure you do loopback and give them a straight answer after they have answered your question!

Avoid being ambiguous and avoid seemingly surprised by this question. Daily travel between customers is typical of medical device sales roles - admitting that you're unfamiliar with the requirements of the role could show that you're prepared for the interview and have not read the job description with care.

"Absolutely! I love the variety that comes from being in a new place every day. My last role was mostly just car travel within about a three-hour radius. Does this role require any overnight or air travel?"

Yes! Traveling is something that I am used to. I have learned to be flexible and adaptable with my current job, as sometimes I am traveling to different hospitals in the area depending on the need.

Great answer! If you wanted to inquire more about the travel requirements of the job, you could ask now or wait until the end of the interview when you're liking to be given an opportunity to ask questions.
