Would you be willing to relocate in the future?

(If the answer is an unqualified “Yes”:)

Definitely, yes. When I have moved or relocated in the past, new worlds of opportunity opened for me. Any major change, while always containing some risk, is a chance to grow, learn, and advance. All I need is a few days’ notice, and I’ll be ready.

(If the answer is a qualified “Yes”:)

Yes, if that relocation provided opportunity for advancement or for making a greater contribution to the company. My family is very supportive of my career. They know I would base such a decision on whether the move would be advantageous for them, too. I would evaluate the opportunity carefully; and, if it were good, I’d need a little time to complete my commitments—both on the job and at home—before getting settled somewhere else.

(If you would rather not:)

My family and I have established our roots here. It’s a great place to live, and we’ve made many friends in our community. Stability and continuity are important for raising a family.

I’d never reject a transfer without considering it seriously, however. I’d base my decision on whether the result would be a net gain—for the company, for my family, and for me.
