⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • 1. Not showing specific leadership examples—generic statements like 'I led a team' without details on impact or challenges.
  • 2. Overlooking the mission: failing to connect your work to renewable energy or showing ignorance of the industry.
  • 3. Focusing only on frontend or backend—this role expects full-stack depth and architectural thinking across the stack.
