Microsoft is hiring an account executive and I’m really interested in the role. I have B2B sales experience in a different industry, but my skills include lead generation, prospecting, account management, negotiating, etc (all within the C Suite and other decision makers).
Would appreciate knowing if this is something I have a shot at with no tech sales experience and what I could expect for promotional opportunities and compensation.
Thanks for the help!

Was scheduled for an interview today for a Director pos. early morning I get a Reschedule request to next Wednesday but I cannot make it due to personal commitment .
Called recuit mgr.to let him know and he tells me the director is very busy as she’s the IT. Dir for the whole org.politely asked him to send her availability other than next Haven’t received anything since then . Wondering if such co. Is worth pursuing that doesn’t value others time and that too a replacement pos for the same busy role 🥹

Express interest in the company, ask about their role, mention specific job’s that interest you. Ask if there’s anything you should be doing to make yourself a more competitive candidate (at which point they may offer to refer). Having been the alumni in this situation numerous times, I’m well aware of what the person is after and am happy to refer
I reach out to them on LinkedIn with the excuse of asking questions on their company and advices on how to apply. 99% of the time they offer to give me a call and they end up being the one offering me a referral. I am tempted to say I have been lucky, but it has happened so many times at this point. Unless I have some secret charm power, which I doubt, I think most people don’t try to do this
Probably easier to get a referral on here, if that’s all you’re after
Pro
Don’t do it for the sake of doing it or sucking up. Your attitude and lack of career direction will show. If you genuinely want to know more about how they did, get advice from them - then talk to them.
It helps to actually be interested in the person
