Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Being too generic: Avoid vague statements like 'I love technology' without tying them to the specific industry and role.
- Underestimating the pre-sales aspect: This is not just a technical role; it's heavily client-facing and sales-oriented. Don't neglect that in your application.
- Lacking domain knowledge: If you don't have direct oil & gas or emissions experience, don't try to bluff. Instead, show how your transferable skills and willingness to learn are assets.
