Below is the opening paragraph of an Account Executive job description posted by the Chicago office of a global agency, found on TalentZoo.com. I'm sure this unflappable, big idea, omniscient, creative, juggler can expect an equally impressive salary as an AE. What a cliched mess.
"The Account Executive is the omniscient leader. We’re looking for someone to be the source of all information, from logistical project details to strategic insights to all things related to the client’s business. The Account Executive understands the client’s situation and challenges and leverages this knowledge to think strategically about the business. This person will generate big ideas that are not only creative but that move our client’s products off the shelves. We’re looking for a juggler who can have a million balls in the air but still has the capacity to stop and tell you the time."
