Overqualified or too senior? Here's what that feedback really means

You've applied for the job, you've done the interview, and then been told that you're "overqualified" or "too senior". The truth is, this feedback can often be misinterpreted. In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma go over some of the reasons why you might be getting this feedback, what to do if it ever happens to you - plus a few tips on how to improve your chances of getting hired if you DO want a role at that level.🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Elizabeth who bought us 3 coffees! “Listened to your pod as I was gearing up to leave my receptionist job and landed a job recruiting participants for clinical studies. I have always loved research and it's so nice to be doing something interesting and meaningful, and with a very cool small company where my creativity is valued, and with the most hardworking yet fun coworkers. I still listen to you of course because the tips are always interesting, I love the banter, and you keep me with it (quiet quitting and other trends haha). Thank you so much, keep up the great work <3” Congratulations and thank you so much Elizabeth👩‍💻 To book an interview coaching session with Sarah, go to www.interviewboss.com.au/coaching 💗  Follow us on Instagram💻  Check out our website for free jobseeker resourceswww.interviewboss.com.au
