The woman in this picture does not exist. She has never existed. She is simply a calculation, made by a computer, based on millions of data points. The image was built entirely by AI, and the tool is getting more sophisticated every day.
Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of a great many industries, revolutionizing processes and operations. One significant area undergoing major transformation is recruiting. As AI takes center stage in the hiring landscape, both employers and job candidates need to understand its implications and adapt to the evolving dynamics of the recruitment process.
AI in recruiting involves the use of advanced technologies like machine learning algorithms and natural language processing to streamline and enhance various stages of the hiring process. From initial resume screening to candidate engagement and interview processes, AI offers efficiency, objectivity, and improved decision-making.
One of the primary areas where AI is making a significant impact is in automating the initial stages of candidate evaluation. Traditional resume screening processes can be time-consuming and prone to biases.

Job candidates should be vigilant about potential biases and advocate for transparent and ethical AI practices in hiring.
Candidates can also benefit from understanding how AI systems operate, being proactive in addressing biases, and promoting diversity and inclusion in their professional experiences.
Video interviews with AI analysis tools are becoming more prevalent. These tools analyze facial expressions, tone of voice, and language patterns to assess candidate suitability. Job candidates should be mindful of their virtual presence, ensuring they communicate effectively through a screen.
Practicing video interviews, maintaining eye contact with the camera, and being aware of verbal and non-verbal cues can enhance a candidate's performance in AI-integrated interviews.
As AI continues to evolve, so do job requirements. The era of lifelong learning has arrived, and candidates must adopt a growth mindset. Staying updated on industry trends, acquiring new skills, and being adaptable are crucial for sustained career success in an AI-driven job market.
Job candidates should consider continuous education, whether through formal courses, online certifications, or immersive learning experiences. Demonstrating a commitment to learning and adaptation can be a valuable asset in a landscape where technological advancements are the norm.
In an AI-driven recruiting world, candidates need to go beyond traditional resumes. Building a strong and authentic personal brand in the digital space becomes imperative. This includes maintaining a professional online presence, engaging in relevant online communities, and showcasing thought leadership.
Creating a comprehensive LinkedIn profile, participating in industry forums, and contributing to relevant discussions online can enhance a candidate's visibility. Employers increasingly use online platforms to discover and vet potential candidates, making a robust digital presence an essential part of the modern job search.
AI is reshaping the recruiting landscape, offering efficiency, objectivity, and new opportunities. For job candidates, adapting to this evolving landscape requires a proactive approach, embracing continuous learning, and leveraging technology to showcase their unique strengths.
As AI becomes more ingrained in recruiting processes, a collaborative effort between candidates and employers is essential. Transparency, ethical AI practices, and a commitment to creating a fair and inclusive hiring environment will be crucial in shaping the future of recruitment. In navigating this AI-driven landscape, job candidates who embrace technology while maintaining their authenticity and commitment to growth will stand out in the competitive job market of the future.

LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to the point of liquefaction, transforming it into a clear, colorless, and non-toxic liquid. This process reduces the volume of the gas significantly, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport and store. The liquefaction process involves cooling natural gas to around -260°F (-162°C), converting it into a liquid state. This transformation not only reduces the volume by about 600 times but also makes it more suitable for long-distance transportation, primarily through specially designed LNG carriers.
The U.S. has witnessed a substantial surge in LNG projects, driven by various factors, including the shale gas revolution, global demand for cleaner energy sources, and advancements in liquefaction technology. The shale gas revolution, particularly in regions like the Permian Basin and the Marcellus Shale, has unlocked vast reserves of natural gas, making the U.S. a major player in the LNG market. The growth of LNG export terminals along the Gulf Coast, such as the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal in Louisiana and the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal in Texas, highlights the nation's commitment to leveraging its natural gas abundance for economic gains. These terminals serve as crucial hubs for liquefying and exporting natural gas to international markets, contributing significantly to the U.S. energy landscape. Key Players and Projects Several prominent players have spearheaded LNG projects, solidifying the U.S. as a major LNG exporter. Cheniere Energy, with its Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi LNG terminals, has been at the forefront of this transformation. Other players like Dominion Energy Cove Point LNG, Freeport LNG, and Cameron LNG have also played pivotal roles in expanding the country's LNG export capacity. The sheer scale of these projects is noteworthy. For instance, the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal has the capacity to produce over 30 million tonnes of LNG per year, making it one of the largest facilities of its kind globally. These projects not only contribute to domestic economic growth but also enhance the global energy trade landscape.
The LNG boom in the U.S. has brought about a wave of economic benefits. These projects contribute significantly to job creation, both directly and indirectly. The construction and operation of LNG export terminals require a skilled workforce, ranging from engineers and technicians to logistics and administrative professionals. Additionally, the growth of associated industries, such as natural gas production, transportation, and equipment manufacturing, amplifies the positive economic impact.
As the U.S. emerges as a major LNG exporter, it enhances its role in global energy security and diplomacy. LNG is a versatile energy source that can be used for power generation, heating, and as a feedstock for various industrial processes. By exporting LNG to nations seeking diverse and reliable energy sources, the U.S. strengthens diplomatic ties and plays a strategic role in supporting the energy needs of its allies.
While LNG is often considered a cleaner-burning fuel compared to traditional hydrocarbons, there are environmental considerations. The extraction and production of natural gas, as well as the transportation of LNG, have environmental impacts that must be carefully managed. Balancing economic benefits with environmental stewardship is crucial to ensuring a sustainable and responsible approach to LNG development.
In conclusion, LNG has become a linchpin in the U.S. energy strategy, offering economic benefits, job creation, and a substantial role in global energy dynamics. The growth of LNG projects along the Gulf Coast reflects the nation's commitment to leveraging its natural gas resources for domestic and international gains. As the U.S. continues to navigate its energy future, LNG stands as a cornerstone, contributing to economic prosperity, energy security, and strategic diplomacy on the world stage.

While LNG is often considered a cleaner-burning fuel compared to traditional hydrocarbons, there are environmental considerations. The extraction and production of natural gas, as well as the transportation of LNG, have environmental impacts that must be carefully managed. Balancing economic benefits with environmental stewardship is crucial to ensuring a sustainable and responsible approach to LNG development.
In conclusion, LNG has become a linchpin in the U.S. energy strategy, offering economic benefits, job creation, and a substantial role in global energy dynamics. The growth of LNG projects along the Gulf Coast reflects the nation's commitment to leveraging its natural gas resources for domestic and international gains. As the U.S. continues to navigate its energy future, LNG stands as a cornerstone, contributing to economic prosperity, energy security, and strategic diplomacy on the world stage.
“The year has gone by so fast,” she says, looking like the completion of her first twelve months at Petroplan has genuinely surprised her.
“I didn’t think I’d have done so many different things so soon after joining this team.”
Valentina began her recruitment career five years ago, after graduating from UH with a bachelors in psychology.
“It’s been a particularly challenging time for recruiters everywhere,” she says.
“The pandemic dominated so much of the landscape for all of us, and for the customers we serve. It was draining in a lot of ways. Now that period is behind us, there’s this huge swell of energy in the industry, and so much activity going on.”
The statistics back this up. According to government data, overall labor force participation is back to its pre-pandemic forecasted level, and the closely-watched prime-age labor force participation rate is now a shade above pre-pandemic levels. Over the past 12 months, the market has seen a net gain of more than four million jobs, averaging around 350,000 new jobs gained, per month. This has left unemployment at a decades-long low. Filling these jobs represents a huge challenge in such a competitive market, especially in clean energy where skills are in relatively short supply. When asked about her approach to recruiting, Valentina explains that she looks for several key qualities in a candidate. She looks for candidates who have the right skills and experience for the role, as well as a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a team. She also looks for candidates who are passionate about their work and are committed to driving success for themselves and others.
“We have to look beyond the candidates’ hard skills to work out if they’re a genuine fit for the company they’re joining,” she says.
The daughter of an expat, she spent her childhood in seven different countries, thriving amid the change and the constant exposure to new cultures. She brings this experience into her job.
“Culture is so important, particularly now that so many teams are working remotely and are separated from each other day to day.”
Valentina has adapted to a wide range of recruiting activities in engineering and oil and gas. The variety has clearly made her job quite challenging, but she focuses on the human elements of the recruiting task.
"I enjoy getting to know my clients and candidates on a personal level. It helps me to understand what motivates them and what they're looking for in a role,” she says.
“Valentina has been an asset to our team since she joined us a year ago,” says Craig McConochie, Petroplan’s Country Manager in the US.
“Her dedication to finding the best people, whatever the discipline, has made her hugely successful, and our clients appreciate the results they see.” Outside work, Valentina is an avid cook who loves to experiment with different cuisines. Her parents are Indian and Italian, which has influenced her cooking style. I love trying out new recipes and experimenting with different flavors. Cooking is a creative outlet for me, and I find it very relaxing."
After a few very confident photographs, she leaves as quickly as she arrived, back to the team, and to the open job list.
