Great opportunities

Why are your applications being rejected? This week I replied to someone who made a few applications for positions I was working on. In her email, she pointed out a few reasons why she thought she was facing ‘nos’ from recruiters:  🤔 she doesn't live in Ireland 🤔 she'd need sponsorship to work 🤔 she made herself available to pay any fees needed I can’t speak for every recruiter she dealt with but, as I reviewed her applications, I noticed:  🤔 she applied for positions that weren’t her area of expertise, Ecologist & Senior Environmental Consultant, despite having a strong background of more than 5 years in GIS and remote sensing 🤔 her seniority wasn’t aligned with the roles’ requirements either (she would be a strong candidate for a Senior GIS position though) 🤔 the lack of experience in the Irish market can be a factor of rejection for the Ecological/Environmental roles, especially because it requires specific knowledge such as Irish legislation/regulations and the ability to identify native species etc. However, if she had applied for a GIS position - aligned with her background - it wouldn’t be a problem because the practices are global What I hope to have helped her understand:  🤔 she was right in asking, otherwise, perhaps no one would give her this advice  🤔 not always the reason why we are not being successful in something is someone else fault  🤔 learn with feedback  🤔 be self-critical and review your strategies  🤔 realign to start again even better

Want to join a passionate team that's working globally for sustainable water management? Help us spread the word - we are #hiring! #Water is critical for life and for all activities on our planet, from industry to human consumption to food production. But those multiple uses can also easily lead to over consumption and pollution. To manage water bodies effectively, we know we need to build strong community-based stakeholder groups that can discuss and advance management and planning together at the watershed level. The UN Environment Programme is partnering with the European Commission to advance this model of sustainable #watershed management, and we're piloting this approach in two critical sub-basins in #Brazil and #India.

For those interested

After a fulfilling professional journey over 15 years, filled with interesting environmental projects and innovative solutions in the environmental consultancy sector, I have decided to take another leap to explore new challenges and opportunities. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege to lead and contribute to various high-profile projects, specialising in climate change adaptation, coastal protection, metocean, hydraulic studies, coastal feasibility and optimisation work, environmental impact assessment (EIA), environmental monitoring and management plan (EMMP) and advanced coastal numerical modelling. My professional experience has spanned from being a coastal modeller, technical lead and team manager, aligning major coastal-related projects with national adaptation strategies in Singapore, to offering my expertise as an independent consultant to various clients in Singapore, Denmark and the UK. As I look forward to the next phase of my professional journey, I am keen to explore opportunities that leverage my extensive experience. Whether it be in technical consultancy, project leadership, or strategic advisory roles, I am eager to contribute my skills and passion for my next role. I am currently working on some ongoing projects. I aim to wrap them up by the end of May or early June. I am available for discussions and opportunities for organisations looking for someone with a blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of delivering results. Please feel free to contact me here on LinkedIn. PS: Much like Mount Rinjani in the photo I took here, the "new mountain" symbolises continuous growth and development in my career. #EnvironmentalConsultancy #ClimateChangeAdaptation #CoastalProtection #Sustainability #EngineeringInnovation #CareerTransition #ProfessionalGrowth #EnvironmentalImpactAssessment #NumericalModelling #OpenForOpportunities #StrategicThinking #ProjectLeadership
