Woman: How was the interview? Man: Very flattering. He said I was overqualified. Woman: So, you didn't get the job? Man: No. Because I was what...? Woman: Overqualified. Man: Yes, I was. *Say it loud! I'm overqualified and proud*
I’ve been searching for a job for months and can barely land an interview. When I ask why I am no longer considered, this is the response I get. Being “overqualified” is no picnic, so this one made me laugh… yeah, why NOT take some pride in it? Gotta remain positive somehow, I guess!

I wish I was overqualified. I keep getting “not enough experience”
….. and just how am I supposed to get experience if I can’t get a job?
Sorry for the rant, I needed to vent.
