Are you a positive person? What brings you down?

1 Are you willing to relocate?
This is a logistical question for interviewers to weed out anyone who’s immediately not a good fit purely based on where they’re located. But especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, being out of the area is not going to be an immediate disqualifier for all jobs. Depending on the company’s culture, set-up, and leadership styles, employers may consider letting you work remotely, paying for you to move, or assisting you in coming into the office every once in a while if needed. If the employer is only interested in candidates who would work in-person each day (for a role where it’s not necessary), consider what this says about organization and if it would be a good match for you.
Simple: If you’re not in the area, tell them whether or not you’d move for the role. If it’s a bit more complicated, explain your situation succinctly and with an emphasis on how much you want the job.
