Often, when travel is required for a job, the company will have to put that in the job requirements, so you are aware that is a condition of employment. The interviewer wants to know that you have the flexibility to work with their schedule and travel to out-of-town projects when needed. Describe your availability and willingness to travel, and if you have an outside obligation that prohibits you from traveling, explain what that obligation is. However, you will have a better chance of being hired if you can travel when needed.

When responding, you want to avoid saying you are unavailable to travel without explaining why. The interviewer is more likely to hire someone who is available to travel, but if you have something that keeps you from traveling and you explain why, the interviewer may give you a chance and offer you the job. For example, suppose you have your child every other week, and you could not travel when you have them. If you explain your situation, the interviewer may try to accommodate your schedule.

"Yes, I would be available to travel when needed. I do not have anything that would keep me from traveling out-of-town until the project is completed."
