THANKS Richard 👍
Here’s the FULL LIST of ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to be an Account Executive?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am somebody whose strengths include having strong organizational capabilities, the ability to build long-lasting, professional relationships with clients, and also a creative approach to tasks. Over the years, I have built up a strong resume/CV that I feel is a close match for the job description of an Account Executive. With me, you will be getting somebody who takes their responsibilities seriously, someone who can work on their own and also as part of a team, and also a loyal, honest and hard-working person who understands that your business will only continue to be successful, if people like me carry out their duties to exacting standards.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for our company as an Account Executive?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I think a lot of people look for jobs based on the location of the company and the salary that is on offer. However, whenever I apply for a job I research the company, first of all, to see whether I can meet the expectations of the role, and to assess whether this is somewhere I would want to work long-term. Prior to applying for this role, I studied your history, your vision, and also the types of services you offer your clients. Everything I saw told me the business is run by creative and ambitious people, and I felt excited about submitting my application. I guess I want to work here because I feel I can start making a positive contribution to the team quickly, and the level of client you attract suits my relationship-building abilities, my creative knowledge and also my expertise. This means I will be able to help your clients achieve their goals, which will, in turn, help your business to continue to grow and be successful.”
