SmartFinancial Account Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I sent in my resume and got a callback within 24 hours from a nice recruiter. A couple of days later, I spoke with someone else, and that went well. Then I went in for the final interview, which was strange. I noticed a lack of diversity there. After a short wait, the manager came in and interviewed me. I answered his questions honestly and mentioned my 20 years of sales experience. He asked about my resume and past experience. I got a weird vibe from him but thought my experience and drive would land me the job, but it didn't.

This was a pretty typical interview process. Since it was during COVID, everything was done online and it took about a month from start to finish. First, I chatted with HR. Then, I spoke with some Team Leads. Finally, I met with the Director. Everyone I talked to was really friendly and open, and they happily answered all my questions. The interviews felt more like a 'Why you should work with us' kind of vibe rather than a 'Why we should hire you' interrogation. The questions were pretty standard, the kind that any current sales rep or account manager could probably answer without much thought. The main thing is to let your personality shine through.

It started with a phone call, and then if that went well, they brought me in for an in person interview. If that one went well, they invited me back for a second interview. The whole thing took about a month.
