⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic cover letter that doesn't reference ERM's specific focus on sustainability and low-carbon transitions.
  • Failing to provide concrete examples of translating strategy into implemented outcomes—vague claims won't stand out.
  • Overlooking the AI requirement: if you lack hands-on AI experience, don't bluff; instead, highlight adjacent data-driven skills.
