Interviewer: Are you willing to travel?
Bill: Of course. I am willing to take as many business trips as the company needs me to take.
Interviewer: Did you travel a lot of business in your last job?
Bill: When I was a manager at my previous company, I used to go on a business trip each quarter to our branch offices in Europe.
Interviewer: Did you have any difficulty working with people from other countries?
Bill: Not at all. Actually, I really enjoyed working with all of my colleagues from Europe. Of course, they do some things differently, but I learned a lot from them. We all worked for the same company, so we were all on the same team.
Interviewer: That’s great to hear.
