184 executive account manager interview questions shared by candidates

This place is a SCAM. I applied for the 'marketing associate role,' and got a call saying I had been shortlisted for an interview. I asked the recruiter which role I was being considered for, and she told me I was being considered for the ' account executive' role. I was confused at this point since I didn't even apply to this role. I told the recruiter I wasn't interested in a sales role, I wanted to do marketing, and she assured me it would be 80 percent marketing. I went in for an interview, and the office was almost bare empty and looked like they just moved in. After asking several questions, the man whom I interviewed with told me I was being considered for the 'Management Trainee' role. This was now the third different role they told me I was being considered for, NONE of which I even applied for. I asked him what the salary would be and he told me that it was "competitive," and I would learn more in the second interview. For the second interview, the woman interviewing explained thier 'training process.' She pointed to a flow chart, titled 'Executive Training Program'-- where the jobs listed ' account executive, account manager, junior executive, and senior executive,' with corresponding lengths for each role. She told me the first 2 (account executive, account manager) take up to 6 months before you can advance. I asked her about compensation for each of those two roles, to which she responded 400- 500 a month. I asked her if that was on top of commission-- and she responded that they ONLY do commission. NO BASE SALARY!!!! I was shocked because at this point, I had not only been lured into an office in which a job title I applied for didn't exist, they are totally untransparent about their roles AND their "competitive salary.

The first phone interview is 1 hour and full of questions about what you did at your past roles. They also ask you for THREE weaknesses (which we all know is code for "find a way to make a fake weakness into something positive sounding). The questions aren't hard, but an hour? really? this role pays $45k and any college grad could do it; i'm not interviewing to be an investment banker. They make you wait over a week to tell you whether or not you make the next round, which consists of "behavioral questions." By behavioral they really mean that two 20-somethings will be shooting questions off at you at a firing squad pace in "give me an example of a time when" form. This torture also goes on for an hour.
