⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Neglecting to mention specific tools (Python, R, Power BI, etc.) and how you've used them in projects.
  • Overlooking the importance of mathematics—don't just list courses; show how you applied statistical or linear algebra concepts.
  • Failing to tailor your application to sustainability—generic applications won't stand out to a mission-driven company like Hitachi Energy.
