How to Find a Job Where I Can Travel Long Distance

Some people are creatures of habit, craving the same reliable workday routine. Others thrive in challenging, ever-shifting work environments. Working at a job where it's possible to travel long distance is ideal for people who prefer the stimulation of changing work environments, enjoy traveling and relish a strong delineation between home life and work life. Finding a job where long-distance travel is possible may take some time, but for travel junkies it's well worth the wait.

Instructions

1

Take on out-of-town assignments at current job positions. People who are currently employed may start beefing up distance working credentials by attending out-of-town workshops or trainings, volunteering to deliver documents or papers to other office branches, or even volunteering to pick up visiting company officials or external contractors at the airport. This proves a willingness and ability to productively step away from the work desk, even for short periods of time.

2

Highlight traveling work experience on your job resume. Look over your existing resume, identifying present or past job experiences that involved working away from the office. Those with few traveling work experiences can highlight successful opportunities to work virtually from home; for example, completing an important project while working at home with the flu. People who work jobs that involve traveling long distance must make employers feel confident that time away from the office is used wisely and productively.

3

Attend job fairs. Research registered companies to learn which have office branches in other cities, states or countries or are hiring people whose job responsibilities will involve traveling long distance. Bring an updated resume to the job fair, dress professionally and be prepared to chat with company representatives about your readiness to travel long distances. Because some employees view long distance travel as a drawback that infringes on their personal life, emphasizing a willingness and desire to travel long distance can go a long way.
