Why You Shouldn’t Wait for the Perfect Job – with Will Whitehorn | Energy Sector Heroes
Description
Finding a role in today’s energy and technology job market isn’t straightforward. Graduates face shifting expectations, AI is changing traditional entry-level roles, and career paths often look more like spaghetti than a straight ladder. In this episode of Energy Sector Heroes, I sit down with Will Whitehorn OBE, Chancellor of Edinburgh Napier University and former Virgin Group executive, to talk about what this means for anyone trying to build a career in energy, technology, or beyond.
We cover the reality of graduate employment, why AI is both a disruptor and an opportunity, and how careers often unfold in unexpected but rewarding ways.
✨ Three Takeaways You Can Apply Today
· 🚀 Don’t wait for the “perfect job” – take opportunities as they come, treat each role as a learning step, and build transferable skills along the way.

· 🌍 Think polymath, not silo – build experiences across different fields and industries; cross-disciplinary thinking is where innovation and career growth often happen.
