⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to mention specific SAP modules (e.g., MM, SD) or versions (ECC vs. S/4HANA) – be precise about your experience.
  • Overlooking the remote work aspect – don't assume it's the same as on-site; emphasize your remote collaboration skills.
  • Submitting a generic application without tying your experience to renewable energy or EDF Renewables' mission – tailor it.
