The process by which a branchiomotor neuron growth cone is directed to a specific target site. Branchiomotor neurons are located in the hindbrain and innervate branchial arch-derived muscles that control jaw movements, facial expression, the larynx, and the pharynx. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone of a motor neuron is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells.
