    • My career path is important to me, and I’ve been very impressed with what I’ve learned about this company and believe that this position in particular is a great fit for my skills in X, Y, and Z. Do you agree?”
  • If you absolutely can’t Travel then:
    • You have to be honest about that, but try not to just say “No.”
    • You don’t know what the future holds, and your life might look very different in a year for a thousand reasons.
    • So say, “I’d rather not travel right now, but that could easily change in the future.

Travel enables me to develop my training, as well as my expert system.
