The New Energy Era
Geopolitics affect your career in the energy sector
Do you think the war in Ukraine has anything to do with your professional career in the energy sector? Do you think that pirate attacks on the oil tankers in the Red Sea are correlated with how many job positions will be available in the coming years on the job market? Do you think that the conflict between Israel and Palestine affects the speed of energy transition and the number of jobs available in the renewable sector? Finally, do you think American sanctions on Chinese products will affect whether you will have stable employment in the energy sector in the coming years?
Yes, they do influence your career in the energy sector and they do affect the availability of job positions for you to apply. It may come as a surprise to you but all the mentioned geopolitical aspects influence the energy job market and your future career short and long term.
If you are looking for a job in the energy industry or thinking about boosting your professional career, one of the most important aspects is to be aware of how to interpret these geopolitical trends and how they will be affecting your job security and job availability in a given region of the world.
Therefore, if you want to obtain fulfilling employment in the energy sector or you want to boost your career, ask for a promotion, or increase your transferable and relevant skills and capabilities you must decipher these geopolitical trends and leverage your knowledge about them accordingly for your benefit.
Stop applying for a job in the energy sector without understanding the geopolitical trends first
There is nothing worse than applying continuously for multiple job positions and never getting hired without even knowing why. And you should not continue your job search process without fully understanding these geopolitical trends.
There is also nothing worse than attempting to professionally develop, attending all these training and courses and yet missing promotions and hitting a career glass ceiling and not understanding the reasons behind it.
These geopolitical trends are shaping the energy industry as we speak and you should first understand what they mean for you and your career.
So if you are hoping for a promotion, or you are considering applying for a job in a different energy sector (transfer from O&G to renewables sector) you must subject yourself to the relevance verification process which includes analysis of the current global energy trends and all the geopolitical aspects that shape the industry today.

Relevance verification process
This term captures the practice of continuously cross-referencing your desires and career aspirations against the practical realities of the job market, emphasizing the importance of aligning your skill set with the actual demands and expectations of employers, the job market and the industry.
It is important to be very clear and focused on obtaining employment which fits your existing skills and capabilities, knowing what you want in terms of financial benefits and selecting a job which fulfils your professional goals. However, you set yourself to fail if you just perform this process in isolation from these geopolitical trends which affect who will be hired, when, with what skills and capabilities and where. Without verifying the existing energy job market and without becoming fully aware of why certain jobs are advertised at your location and why others don't you will be walking blindly hoping for a miracle instead of taking full control of your professional career.
This process is crucial for staying competitive, enhancing employability, and adapting to the evolving demands of the professional landscape.
