⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to quantify sales achievements—vague claims like 'exceeded targets' without numbers won’t stand out.
  • Ignoring the climate mission: candidates who treat this as a generic sales role without passion for sustainability may seem disengaged.
  • Underpreparing for technical questions: not understanding carbon credits, additionality, or MRV processes can signal lack of industry fit.
