Your job in a job interviewer is to show your brain working and to get the interviewer's brain working, too. That will not distinguish them or leave any particular impression on the interviewer. They would hear the question "What makes you a good fit for this job?" and plunge right into a list of their best attributes. It talks about the assignment, instead! You are showing the interviewer that you are plugged in and paying attention - because sadly, most job-seekers are not. It doesn't talk about you until the very end. Notice a few things about the answer that I shared in the script. Conversational interviews are the way to go - they're more fun, less stressful and more information-packed, the way a job interview should be! You will become more comfortable shifting your job interviews from the traditional, oral-exam-type Q &A format into a conversational format as you do more interviewing. You might think that this scripted answer is too long. I'll be in their corner protecting their time by handling most of the day-to-day customer care issues on my own. They won't have as many interruptions in their day. Once I can get your clients to trust me enough to stop contacting their National Accounts sales team with their issues and contact me instead, your salespeople's lives will get a lot easier. I keep a million details organized and double-check to make sure every client has exactly what they need. I specialize in keeping clients happy and up to date. The more customer questions and issues I can take off their shoulders, the more they can focus on selling. In this job I'll be keeping as much of customer care burden off the salespeople's plates as possible. As I understand it so far, the job of the National Accounts Coordinator is to back up your three National Accounts sales executives so they can do their jobs. The National Accounts salespeople must be swamped trying to keep their customers happy and well-informed about your company's products and your latest offers. There must be dozens of contacts in each of those large clients, people who might have questions about their shipments or any number of other things. Researching your website and LinkedIn I spotted nine national accounts and they are all huge companies, like GM and Citibank. You've advertised for a National Accounts Coordinator to support your national accounts sales team. You: Great question! I'll share my thinking on that with you and get your impressions, too.
