atro_cityIs there such a thing as "overqualified"?
Is there such a thing as "overqualified"?
It’s very real, if you are too qualified for a position you are not going to be fulfilled in that role and you’ll probably leave real fast or just be depressed as hell
That's an assumption. Maybe they want to switch careers.
VanthYeah, but hiring is a big series of assumptions. Resumes and interviews only give you so much confidence on how a person will actually do in the job.
Speaking for myself, I want to hire quickly. I get 10 resumes for 1 spot, I’m not going to agonize over whether the PhD is having a mid-life change and really wants the fast food job, or if they are going to split in a month, or hell, if they have some addiction or personal problem that prevents them from holding a job that matches their qualifications. If there’s a candidate that meets the reqs and seems like a fit, I’m moving right along with them.
