⬇️3 reasons why people don’t want to hire you if you are overqualified   Trust me. No one wants to hire someone who is overqualified so stop wasting your time applying to jobs that are not for you. Here’s a big mistake you’re making in your job search. You’ve been applying to a bunch of jobs and not getting anywhere so you decide to start applying to lower-level positions to just get your foot in the door.   I get it, you think- “I’m overqualified therefore I will be a slam dunk for these jobs and tons of people will want to hire me.”   Sorry to be the one to tell you but that is NOT the case. In over 15 years as a career coach I have never seen anyone get a lower-level position. NEVER! And here’s why   3 reasons why people don’t want to hire you if you are overqualified   1️⃣ When you’re overqualified you have been paid more and getting a lower level position means taking a big pay cut and even though you say you’re ok with a pay cut they won’t believe you. 2️⃣Insecure hiring managers do not want to hire someone who has more experience than they do because they think you will be hard to manager or out for their job. 3️⃣ They don’t believe you will be happy in this position. They think that you’re taking this just temporarily until you find a bigger role.   If you’re struggling to find a job right now, you need to take a look at the level of jobs that you’re applying to.   🎯The easiest jobs to get are lateral jobs and big promotions.   ▪️Don’t waste your time making yourself small to get a job. ▪️Don’t waste your time taking things off your resume and trying to appear less qualified for smaller roles. They aren’t going to hire you.   🧑🏽‍💻Instead go after the big jobs and show them how ambitious you are.   #jobinterivew #jobsearch
