    What if i have no experience? In the beginning you said “who gets immense job satisfaction from achieving consistently high results “ what else could i say other than that

    What about the STAR model? Situation, task, action and result. Tell me about a time you succeed above targets?
    Tell me a time you may have lost accounts, how did you deal with that?

    Even though, my CV is strong, I do struggle with the interviews for several of reasons:
    In the past 14 years, I have had changed my job twice and I don’t like talking about myself.

    Two weeks ago, I found myself in the position to perform a digital interview and Mr. Richard , your advices where a gift from the Gods.

    Many thanks and I hope your channel will grow, and will help many others to succeed.

    Hi Richard. Thanks for this video. I have a question. Imagine I'm this interviewer asking you the following, as a follow up rebuttal to that last question ("How to deal with a challenging client?"):
    "Well, it's a good quality to be accommodating, but the truth is, in practice, even the best account managers have to deal with situations that will inevitably damage the relationship with our clients. (Especially in startups) You sometimes have to deal with difficult clients who no matter how much effort you put into setting their expectations, they always find something to be dissatisfied about — sometimes so much so that they don't want to pay at all, for example. How would you approach this in a way that lets me know you're confident enough to put your foot down (and you aren't just a "yes man") but also caring enough to fix the cracks in the client relationship?"

    Very good, impressive but these all sounds fake to me. If I was hiring, and a candidate would talk like this, I would probably be annoyed and have a negative impression on that person. Well a customer called and you resolved the issue. Wow, thanks. Why make such a big deal, anyway? Or who keeps a list of skills needed for a position? If someone answered like there are 9 skills that'd sound fake af

    Thank you Richard. Please do not forget to genuinely about yourself nowadays. Now more than every company really wants to know YOU, the answers Richard gives are good answers but do not properly tell about yourself.

    Also, a lot of the answers Richard gives can easily be countered by "why is that" or "please elaborate", be prepared to go deeper into topics when you answer questions with: "I will always provide outstanding care and attention". They will definitely ask you to tell them some experiences or examples. Interviews go deeper than shown in the video!
