The interviewer wants to know why you are perfect for this position. They want to hear examples of exciting experiences you have had in similar positions, or, if you have not held an Account Representative position in the past, they want to know what other things you may have done that are relatable.

Specific examples from the job description that you can speak to directly and honestly. If you have not been an Account Representative in the past, use a related example from a previous position. Assure the interviewer that commitment to a role is important to you.

Anything that suggests this is a "short term" position you will use until you find something better. Entry level positions are often a person's way of just "getting in the door." The interviewer does not want to hear that. They want to know that you are interested in this specific position and why.

"In my previous role as Account Representative for XX Company, I loved working as part of a team to support leadership. I am very organized, and the most rewarding part of the role was ensuring everything was available so that if my supervisor needed something, I could put my hands right on it."

"I have been a homemaker for the past several years raising two children. Organization is my forte!! Having to juggle scheduling for myself, my spouse, kids' soccer practice, ballet camp, baseball, softball, and more has made me a master at evaluating priorities!"
