⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to show specific UK power market knowledge (e.g., not mentioning CfD, REMA, or Ofgem).
  • Being too generic about advocacy—avoid vague statements; use concrete examples of policy engagement.
  • Overlooking the 'living energy' mission—this role requires alignment with Nadara's values, so don't focus solely on technical aspects without addressing community/environment.
