[126]
flying start so in your answer tell the

[133]
you to their organization and that is

the hiring manager is looking to see how
[143]
you will be able to add value to their
[145]
business so here's a great answer to
[147]
help you I am somebody whose strengths
[150]
include having strong organizational
[153]
capabilities the ability to build long
[155]
lasting professional relationships with
[157]
clients and also a creative approach to
[160]
tasks now over the years I've built up a
[163]
strong resume that I feel is a close
[165]
match for the job description of an
[167]
account executive for example in my last
[170]
role I was responsible for nine
[172]
different customers and clients and I
[174]
always excelled from a service
[175]
perspective making sure I achieved their
[178]
objectives time and time again with me
[181]
you will be getting somebody who takes
[182]
their responsibilities seriously someone
[185]
who can work on their own and also is
[187]
part of a team and also a loyal honest
[190]
and hardworking Account Executive
[192]
finally I understand that your business
[194]
will only continue to be successful if
[197]
people like me carry out their duties to
[199]
exacting standards who know always works
[201]
hard to provide exceptional client
[203]
service that is a very strong answer to
[206]
that first interview question tell me
[208]
about yourself and that then gives you
[210]
the ability to move forward for the
[211]
remainder of your interview with
[213]
confidence now you can either pause the
[216]
video if you want to and take notes of
[217]
the answers as I work through them or if
[220]
you want to wait I will tell you where
[222]
you can download my full set of account
[224]
executive interview questions and top
[226]
scoring answers including the ones we
[228]
are working through right now the next
[230]
question why do you want to work for our
[233]
company as an account executive now
[235]
again this is a guaranteed interview
[237]
question I believe it will come very
[238]
early on during your interview now all
[241]
of the other candidates will probably
[243]
just give one reason now to be the
[245]
standout candidate make sure you give a
[246]
number of different genuine and valid
[249]
reasons why you have been attracted to
[251]
their company here's a top scoring
[254]
answer I think a lot of people look for
[257]
jobs based on the location of the
[259]
company and the salary that is on offer
[261]
however whenever I apply for a job I
[263]
research the company first of all to see
[266]
whether
[267]
I can meet the expectations of the role
[269]
and to also assess whether this is
[271]
somewhere I would want to work long term
[273]
now prior to applying for this role I
[275]
studied your history your vision and
[278]
also the types of services you offer
[280]
your clients now everything I saw told
[283]
me the business is run by creative and
[285]
ambitious people and I felt excited
[287]
about submitting my application I guess
[290]
I want to work here because I feel I can
[292]
start making a positive contribution to
[293]
the team quickly and the level of client
[296]
you attract suits my relationship
[298]
building abilities my creative knowledge
[300]
and also my expertise this means I will
[303]
be able to help your clients achieve
[304]
their goals which will in turn help your
[306]
business continue to grow and be
[308]
successful that is again a very strong
[311]
answer the next question what do you
[314]
expect to be doing on a daily basis as
[316]
an account executive for our company now
[319]
the only way you can really answer this
[321]
interview question is if you have read
[323]
the Job Description so here's a great
[326]
answer to help you I will have many
[328]
responsibilities as an account executive
[330]
and everything I do will be focused on
[333]
achieving the clients goals I will be
[335]
required to meet with clients to discuss
[337]
their needs work with account planners
[340]
to create campaigns and strategies based
[342]
on the client's budget and
[343]
specifications and also present our
[346]
creative ideas to the client prior to
[348]
proceeding with the action stage of any
[350]
campaign strategy I will also be the
[353]
main point of contact for your clients
[355]
so I will need to build strong long
[358]
lasting relationships with them and also
[360]
periodically assess the progress of all
[362]
campaigns before presenting the results
[364]
to the client I will also need to manage
[366]
the clients account in respect of budget
[369]
and invoicing and also meet with
[371]
potential new clients to pitch our
[372]
services with a view to keeping a
[374]
constant stream of new business coming
[376]
into the organization so that shows you
[379]
understand perfectly what you will be
[382]
required to do on a day to day basis now
[385]
please don't go anywhere because I still
[387]
have more questions to work through with
[389]
you but when you are ready if you want
[391]
to click the link that has appeared in
[393]
the top right hand corner of the video
[394]
it will take you through to my website
[396]
pass my interview comm where you can
[398]
download my full set of account
[400]
executive interview questions and
[402]
top-scoring answers including the ones
[404]
we are working through together right
[406]
now
[406]
but here's the next question what
[408]
strengths do you have that will enable
[411]
you to be an effective Account Executive
[413]
so again this is a guaranteed interview
[415]
question so I recommend you give eight
[418]
strips that you will use within the role
[421]
of an Account Executive no I say eight
[423]
because that is a large number of
[425]
strengths and this helps you to add
[426]
value to their organization also if you
[430]
remember eight strengths it will be
[432]
easier for you to give a strong answer
[435]
during the interview so here's a great
[437]
sample answer to help you over time I
[440]
have considered carefully the strengths
[442]
I possess and how I can best utilize
[444]
these to improve my career and my
[447]
performance at work I have eight core
[449]
strengths these include passion
[451]
creativity and organization I am
[454]
passionate about my work which instantly
[456]
rubs off on other people not just in a
[458]
team but also on clients as they see I
[461]
genuinely want to help them I am
[463]
creative so I can think of different
[465]
ways to help a client achieve their
[466]
goals and I am organized in my work
[468]
which means I will never miss a deadline
[470]
or work to anything but high standards I
[473]
also have solid communication skills I
[476]
can easily build positive and
[477]
long-lasting relationships with the
[479]
majority of people and I also have a
[481]
sense of leadership what I mean by this
[483]
is I will always make effective
[485]
decisions when needed there are on the
[487]
best interests of both the client and
[489]
your organization so you can see how
[492]
that type of response helps to make you
[494]
the standout candidate there are lots of
[497]
strengths included there and I've listed
[499]
them all in bold capitals to show you
[502]
which ones I would go for in regards to
[506]
an account executive and if you were the
[508]
interviewer or the hiring manager you
[510]
will be thinking to yourself this person
[512]
really has some strengths that will add
[514]
value to our business what I also like
[516]
about that answer is you are explaining
[518]
why each of the strengths is an asset
[521]
the next question what's been the most
[523]
difficult client relationship you've had
[525]
to maintain so this is a tough interview
[527]
question now at times whilst working as
[530]
an account executive you will have to
[532]
deal with challenging clients it's just
[534]
all part of the role in your answer make
[536]
sure you use the star technique and also
[539]
make sure you give a specific example of
[541]
where you have successfully looked after
[542]
a difficult client
[544]
now the star technique means that you
[546]
structure your response using the format
[549]
of situation task action results let me
[552]
show you it in action with an answer to
[556]
this interview question what's been the
[557]
most difficult client relationship
[559]
you've had to maintain here we go in a
[561]
previous role I had the responsibility
[563]
of managing clients on one particular
[565]
chief information officer CIO would
[567]
deliberately make things difficult for
[569]
our company he would continually make
[571]
excessive demands that were outside of
[573]
the agreed contract it was my
[575]
responsibility to manage the
[577]
relationship positively whilst focusing
[579]
on providing great service with a view
[581]
to improving the relationship throughout
[583]
my time communicating with the CIO I
[586]
always made sure we focused on
[588]
delivering on our promises where I felt
[590]
we couldn't go above and beyond what we
[592]
had agreed to I was resilient in my
[595]
response but I always made sure I was
[597]
professional and courteous by remaining
[600]
calm and professional I was eventually
[601]
able to build a strong working
[603]
relationship with him and he actually
[605]
started to become much easier to work
[607]
with as time went on you can see there
[610]
how effective the star technique is for
[613]
structuring your answers to situational
[615]
