⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid being vague about AI/automation experience—if you don't have direct experience, don't exaggerate; instead, show willingness to learn.
  • Don't overlook the remote aspect—failing to mention how you stay productive and communicate in a remote environment can be a red flag.
  • Steer clear of generic benefits knowledge—show you understand specific compliance areas like ERISA, ACA, and state leave laws.
