Why should we hire you?
The interviewer wants to know you have confidence in yourself and your work. They want a well-thought out answer about why you would be great for this position based on your experience in previous positions. You do not have to have direct experience as an Account Executive; anything in customer service would be a great example. Aside from technical skills, customer service is a key part of an Account Executive's role, so play that up!
In the job description, you will find what the company is looking for (for instance "Excellent ability to provide stellar customer service"). Focus on pulling examples from the description and matching your experience to it.
Not projecting that you are 100% confident they should hire you. You want to sound very sure that you will excel in the role.
"I see that you are looking for an individual with exceptional customer service skills. In my previous role as XX, I worked in the front office and handled many calls, emails, and personal visits from customers. I am always friendly, open, and willing to help a customer and will go to any length to assure their satisfaction."
"I see that you are looking for someone who is well-versed in SAP (or other software - whichever you pick and/or the company is looking for). In addition to my customer service background, I have extensive experience in SAP to increase productivity and efficiency by utilizing data analysis and reporting to maintain consistent operations."
