Switching careers after 20 years - in search of new challenges with DEME

In 2024, I wrote a series of thought leadership articles aiming to encourage specific profiles to apply for hard-to-fill positions at the engineering company DEME. By highlighting specific roles and celebrating the everyday successes and opportunities via LinkedIn, I was able to increase applications by over 10%. I undertook in-depth research to create the questions, conducted the interviews, and created 50+ successful articles in tandem with the DEME HR team.

“They were emailing me new jobs as I was flying home.”

I interviewed a Captain of one of DEME's vessels for a LinkedIn thought leadership article. While telling me about his career path and his love of the sea, he explained that a family emergency caused him to come ashore and drastically change roles. He mentioned in passing that DEME were already emailing him some shore-based jobs as he was flying home. I knew immediately that this nugget was to be the angle of my article.
