Da Question

I have a question. What does being over qualified for a position mean to you?

I've been met with this "Over Qualified" statement several times in the past month while looking for a local job in my new town.

If I'm over qualified doesn't that mean I'm able to do the job in question and go beyond that, isn't that what someone or a company would want in an individual? Do the job, succeed at the job and do more then is required of the job. Isn't this what we were taught and asked to do in order to get promoted to an advanced position. Isn't that what employers were always looking for?

I have to say it's been very fustrating for me as I'm sure it has been for countless others looking for a job in this current market.

How stupid of a phrase is, sorry but your "Over Qualified"?

My Answer is:

Hey I know, right now I just need a paycheck like everyone else, so let me do the job and pay me for doing it. No harm done.
