Expectations

If your job calls for extensive travel, then you should expect to be on the road the majority of the time. You should only take a position like this is you don't mind spending two to three nights a week in hotels away from home. Chances are you'll be traveling to various sites and meeting with clients throughout your week. And when you're not at a client meeting, it can be difficult to manage your time and complete your work when you are splitting your time between a hotel, home office or coffee shop. Constantly moving around and living out of a suitcase can be stressful, and it is something you'll need to learn how to handle.

The type of travel you do will depend on the position. In a sales job, for example, you might be in charge of a specific region which will require you to drive to customers within your state. In this role, you'll spend most of your travel time driving yourself to various customer sites. In some cases, you might be close enough to home that you can drive back at the end of the day. Other positions, may require travel outside of the state or country. Most of your traveling in these jobs will require travel by air and you'll be spending your nights in hotels during the work week.

Although traveling for work can be challenging, there are many benefits. If you spend your time driving, you'll either be reimbursed for your mileage or will be provided a company car. With mileage reimbursement, you'll make extra income, since your company will likely pay for gas in addition to each mile you drive. If you travel by air and stay in hotels, then you'll get to keep all your frequent traveler points for yourself. After enough travel, these points can be redeemed for free flights and hotels rooms, which can make for a free vacation later. Be sure to make an effort to actually use these miles and points because many people bank them and they expire, or changes in the rules reduce their value.

Balancing Life

Balancing your work and personal life can be challenging in a job that requires extensive travel. Traveling for work can take a heavy emotional, physical and mental toll, so you'll need to learn how to make a balance. If you're on the road the majority of the time, you'll spend less time with your family and friends back home. And if you happen to have children, it can be especially difficult to be away. Taking a job with extensive travel will be much easier if you are single or have few family commitments. But if you do have family at home, then you'll need to ensure you make the most of your time at home and keep in touch while on the road. Digital communications makes staying in touch easy. Home is now just a phone call away from anywhere on the road and video conferencing with a webcam can be done for free with any Internet connection.
