How to Overcome Being "Overqualified"

2012-02-01T04:45:00.000-08:00

How to Overcome Being "Overqualified"

Have you ever gone through the interview process, felt confident that you'd performed extremely well, and then heard these dreadful words: "I'm sorry, but we feel you're overqualified for this position."

Arrggh!!

When I was told that after an interview, several thoughts went through my frustration-fogged mind...

What kind of crazy excuse is that for not hiring me? So what if I'm 'overqualified' -- don't employers always want to hire the person with the best qualifications?

If I'm willing to take this job, overqualified or not, why is that a problem?

This isn't fair! What's the real reason they don't want to hire me?

When interviewers say you are "overqualified," here's what they are concerned about:

You'll be bored in this position;

You won't be satisfied with the salary they're offering;

You'll leave as soon as you get a better opportunity;

They'll have to go through the time-consuming and expensive process of hiring and training someone all over again.

They may or may not make you feel better about being "overqualified," but you must admit those are legitimate concerns.

If you get the "overqualified" excuse once, you'll be wary about getting it again.

So if you apply for other jobs that may be at a lower level than warranted by your background, skills, education and experience, you may be tempted to "dumb down" your resume and omit things like college degrees. But lying about your background is not the way to go.

Here's a better strategy: address it head-on.

Be the first one to raise the "overqualified" issue with a potential employer.

If you bring it up yourself, you can discuss it openly and convince the interviewer that it won't be a problem.

They key - as with every job interview issue - is to anticipate and prepare.

Before you go to the interview, think about what you'll say and how you will convince them that they should hire you, even if you are "overqualified."

After explaining how you will be a great asset for their company, tell them why you are applying for a lower-level position.

Do not say, "I can't find anything else and I really need a job." Though that may be the case, this approach is a little too honest and will reinforce their fear that you will leave at the first opportunity.

Say something like, "You can tell that I've worked at a higher level before, but this position is exactly what I'm looking for." Then, depending on the job and your circumstances, explain why.

For example:

"I've always wanted to work for your company [or in this industry], and I'm willing to take a lower-level position to get that opportunity."

"It will allow me to use my skills and expand my experience in a new field."

"I'm looking for something a little less stressful, with fewer responsibilities, so I can spend more time with my family."

"This position provides the stability and long-term growth potential I'm looking for."

"The salary is not my top priority. I'd have no problem with earning less than I've earned in the past."

Be very enthusiastic about the job.

Explain how you can meet their needs now and in the future as the company grows. And most important of all, convince them that you will not quit as soon as something better comes along.

If you are convinced that this job would be worth it, you might even try this: offer to sign an agreement stating that you will stay on the job for a minimum of 12 months.

Whether the hiring manager actually takes you up on that offer or not, it will definitely make a very positive impression!

If you anticipate the "overqualified" issue and address it up front, it will not be a drawback to your success!

Three Common Deadly Mistakes Made In Job Interviews

2012-02-01T04:44:00.000-08:00

Three Common Deadly Mistakes Made In Job Interviews

Since no two interviews are alike, it is difficult to be prepared for what lies ahead, but you can focus on your presentation skills, which may be even more important than what you have to say.

Three areas of performance, which should be considered dangerous and deadly, are worth spending some time thinking about before your next interview.

1. Poor non-verbal communication image

It’s about demonstrating confidence –

Stand straight, and make good eye contact. (Note the color of the interviewer’s eyes.)

Connect with a good, firm handshake. (There’s nothing like a limp response in a handshake.)

Sit erect and lean forward in the chair, appearing interested and attentive. (Slumping denotes a lazy attitude.)

That first impression can be a great beginning, or a quick ending to your interview.

2. Poor verbal communication skills

Your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly.

Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what they said.

Observe your interviewer’s style and pace and match that style, adjusting your style and pace to match.

Use appropriate language. (Beware of using slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics, or sexual preferences – these topics could get the door slammed very quickly.)

Telling the interviewer more than they need to know could be a fatal mistake. (Too much information – particularly personal information - could get into some areas that are best not discussed in an interview.)

3. Not asking questions

It is extremely important to ask questions.

When asked, “Do you have any questions?” if you answer “No,” it is the WRONG answer!

Asking questions gives you the opportunity to show your interest. (The best questions come from listening to what is said and asked during the interview. Ask for additional information.)

Asking questions gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. (Your chance to find out what goes on in the company.)

The job market is very competitive and the competition is fierce.

Give yourself every advantage by preparing and practicing before the interview. Be aware of your verbal and non-verbal performance and the messages you are sending.

It could make the difference between a job offer or not.

Few Tips For Maintaining Professionalism

1. During work, you are bound to have problems, conflicts with others. Resolve them as calmly and courteously as possible. Learn to negotiate without tempers.
Never ever mix your personal emotions with your professional reactions.

2. Make requests instead of giving order. That shows consideration of others.

BANGALORE: Tata Consultancy Service (TCS), India's top software services exporter, is seeing good demand for outsourcing services across sectors and expects client spends to be better in fiscal 2012, its chief executive said.

N Chandrasekaran, who is also the managing director of TCS, said IT outsourcing demand in Europe was recovering but was "slightly behind the curve", while outlook for North America, its largest exports market, remained strong.

"What I see on the ground is the spend is increasing. Fiscal 2012 will be a better year...better for growth," Chandrasekaran told reporters on Monday, adding he expected pricing to move up as demand for outsourcing increases.
