When interviewing for an account owner position, be prepared to speak to your skills in communications, marketing, and client relations. Employers will be interested in your ability to create long-lasting relationships with clients and generate sales for a portfolio of accounts. Your interviewer may test your abilities with a role-play question, so be prepared to give a mock sales pitch to a difficult client.

This is the oddest question I got and its the first question they asked me, so right off the bat things were a little strange: "What would make you leave the job right away, if you got the job?" Seemed kind of like a trick question and I'm not entirely sure where it was coming from. Have they had a lot of turnover that they are scared of? If so, should I be asking more questions to figure out why they are so concerned with me leaving right away? What makes anyone leave a job? More money, better opportunities, etc. That's pretty common knowledge, no? Anything beyond that would have to do with the people, the clients and the work environment itself - things I have no idea about in an interview.
