Crafting a resume that gets noticed
Your resume is often the first impression you make in the energy sector. A clear, professional, and tailored CV gives you a head start in a competitive market.
Keep it clear and concise
- Use a structure that highlights your experience in renewables, networks, or infrastructure.
- Prioritise recent achievements and measurable outcomes.
- Stick to two or three pages - hiring managers don’t want to read your entire life story.
Tailor for every application
- Highlight the skills and projects most relevant to the role.
- Use industry keywords (renewables, BESS, transmission, grid modernisation, etc.) to match applicant tracking systems.
Showcase results, not duties
- Replace vague responsibilities with achievements. For example: “Led a grid integration project delivering a 20% increase in efficiency.”
- Numbers and outcomes carry more weight than generic descriptions.
Interview advice: Mastering the energy interview
An interview is your chance to bring your resume to life and show employers that you’re the right fit for their team. Confidence, preparation, and clear communication will set you apart.
Do your research
Before your interview, understand the organisation’s role in Australia’s energy transition. Look into their projects, technologies, and strategic goals. This knowledge shows that you’re engaged and ready to contribute.
Communicate with impact
When answering questions, structure your responses with the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). This keeps your answers clear, relevant, and focused on achievements rather than vague descriptions.
Show your soft skills
The energy sector values collaboration, resilience, and leadership as much as technical expertise. Share examples of how you’ve worked in a team, solved challenges, or adapted to change.
End with confidence
Prepare thoughtful questions that reflect your curiosity about the role and the company’s future. Conclude by expressing genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity and reinforcing the value you can bring.
Networking advice: Building the right connections in energy
In Australia’s fast-changing energy industry, the right connections can open doors and accelerate your career. Networking isn’t just about who you know - it’s about learning, sharing insights, and building meaningful relationships across the sector.
Be active in the community
Take part in industry events, webinars, and professional forums. Follow thought leaders and companies driving the energy transition on LinkedIn, and engage with their content to stay visible and informed.
Focus on quality over quantity
A valuable network is built on genuine connections, not a long list of contacts. Follow up with people you meet, share your own insights, and look for ways to contribute. Strong professional relationships are built on trust and reciprocity.
Leverage recruiters as connectors
Specialist recruiters like Enertia Talent maintain networks that span across renewable energy projects, infrastructure providers, and technology innovators. Staying connected with us means you’ll hear about opportunities—sometimes before they’re advertised.
