Aug 1, 2013 at 23:35	comment	added	JeffSahol		I would definitely not use "in"...never heard it used in this context. Never applied for a CEO job so I'd not use "of", either. "At" is what I'd normally use. "For" or "with" is what I might use after having the job: "I am an accountant with BBB; I do accounting for BBB." (I can't explain the reasoning or rules behind this, just what sounds right to my ear.)
Aug 1, 2013 at 21:18	comment	added	Michelle C.		@JeffSahol, sorry, but let me clarify it. So what you are saying is that putting "for", "of" or "with" would be better than using "in" or "at" in the sentence above.

Aug 1, 2013 at 20:13	comment	added	JeffSahol		That is correct, you can use "for" also. For what it's worth, the one distinction that I can see is that "of" would mainly apply to one-of-a-kind jobs, CEO for example. You would tend to say that X is an accountant at BBB, and Y is the CFO of BBB. That is not a hard "rule", though.
Aug 1, 2013 at 20:09	comment	added	Michelle C.		@JeffSahol, Thank you for the link. Then can I use "for" or "with" in this sentence as well?
