Top fears of job seekers

1 comment June 23rd, 2008

Interesting article I just read called Top fears of job seekers.  I thought I’d mention my own experiences in relation to the list it discusses, and what I’ve learned from them. 

I won’t be hired because I’m overqualified
This has happened to me, and is valid for many people.  Most worthwhile managers will not hire someone who seems overqualified for a role, and justifiably so, in my opinion.  As an example, hiring someone with management experience for a non-management role means they’re not going to be there for very long before they find another management role to move on to.  That’s not what the business wants.
