DAMN!

I went for a job interview with a big engineering firm yesterday. They call me today and tell me I am overqualified for the position.

How bad does *that* suck?????

They did say they will talk to the manager for a different department to see if they have an opening in that area, but you know, that's probably all air they're blowing out thier ass.

*sigh*

Imagine, moving from a major metro region to a mid-sized town and they all say-"we can't match your previous salary, sorry" Now THAT bites, especially when you explained, in advance, you weren't expecting as much......

Ouch!

Overqualified?

What were you wearing? You must of shown to much cleavage. That's the only overqualified that we all can think of.

I can see you looking at me like your avatar...

tissue for the green drool, please.

Thats and easy one. Too qualified, act dumber

Spirit, You are still in good shape, Any good recruiter or HR person
would not come back with a responce like that unless they truley
ment it. Be prepaired for a call, I'm sure if it's a half decent company, they will at least call you back. Good luck and Good luck

 

[Spirit]

Yeah, Pharmboy, it is fairly reputable. I am hoping for a call soon...

and thanks... I like the way you think

First off spirit luck ok . What I hate is when you're looking for a job,any job and they say you need experience. What I want to know is how do you get that unless someone hires you so you can learn and do the job?

*Big Time*

Thanks, pad They are getting bigger by the day, this company, so I imagine they'll need more documentation clerks soon!

BD... I hear ya... first they need experience then they say you're overqualified...

 

[DarkPrincess]

That really does suck. But, it is much better than being under qualified. I can't even get a job.

I've gotten the "overqualified" response a couple of times. In my case it the people doing the hiring thought I would be bored at the job I was applying for. They were entirely correct, but being desperate for a job at the time it still sucked.

Well, maybe try for a better or more challenging job.
