⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Relying too heavily on generic carbon market knowledge without specific technical expertise in ARR, IFM, or soil carbon.
  • Underemphasizing the consulting aspect—this role requires client-facing communication and teamwork, not just technical analysis.
  • Neglecting to quantify achievements; vague statements like 'worked on carbon projects' are less compelling than specific outcomes.
