If you were offered a position that requires travel, would you accept it?
"While I would not disagree to travel at times, I have small children and would prefer a position that offers more time at home."
"I love to travel and meet new people. At one time, I entertained the idea of becoming a flight attendant so I could travel from place to place. However, I knew I wanted to become a blood bank lab technician. So, yes, I would definitely accept an offer of employment that requires travel."
Some people jump at the chance to have a great job with the benefit of travel. If you are one of those people, a simple 'yes' answer is great. If you would prefer not to travel, say so, but offer a reason why that option is not appealing to you. Just remember, if you are not 100% sure you are willing to travel, don't say 'yes' just to try and land a job. Your resistance to travel later could be detrimental to continued employment.
"I would definitely accept a position that requires travel. I enjoy going to new places and meeting new people. Having an opportunity to work in a field that I love while being able to experience new people and work at different facilities would be great!"

I would be willing to travel at times. However, my husband has a position where he travels often and I would like the flexibility of being able to be home a majority of the time.
