Over Qualified? Overcome It!
Is it really possible to be "over qualified"? What does that term mean? When did it become such a problem
to have more assets and experience than the job you are applying for requires. And more importantly
what can be done to overcome over qualification?
I can't say for certain when it started, but I remember during the 1970's, on an episode from the classic American sit-com , All In The Family, when Archie Bunker (Meathead's father in law)
got laid off from his loading dock job due to the recession. In his subsequent search for gainful
employment he was elated when he found a job opening that he felt he was a "shoe in" for. He meets all
the qualifications, he was available to work immediately, his interview went very well and by all seemingly
logical reasoning, he should have gotten the job. And while it didn't pay what his previous job had paid,
it certainly would stop the bleeding, so to speak, and keep his household above water. But he didn't
get the job, and to his incredulity, he was told it was because he was, "over qualified".
He couldn't wrap his head around the concept. What's so wrong about being BETTER than you need to
be for a job? Why would a company penalize you for that? It just seemed like insanity, but let's take
a look at it from the perspective of a hiring manager whose job it is to find the best employees who will
serve the company for the long term.
Their first and foremost suspicion about you is that you are looking at this as a temporary stop on
your way to better things. The process and expense of hiring and training can be quite large when
all the factors are weighed. They need to hire someone they believe is going to stay and you can't
blame them for being weary about the long term prospects of an attorney applying for manager
trainee at the Pigley Wigley.
And for that matter, even if they believed you hated all things legal and you'll never go back to that
particular profession, they're bound to wonder if you will quickly become bored since the job doesn't create
enough of a challenge for the likes of you, and even if you stay on the job, how good an employee will you be if your
mind isn't focused on the job the way someone without your keen mental abilities might be?
You have to admit, these are valid reasons for concern. Right? So...what's an over qualified
prospective employee to do?
The first possibility is simply to lie by omission. And yes, when the application tells you to list
your highest level of schooling or your previous 5 or 10 years of experience and you don't include
everything, you are lying. The question becomes, is this a viable option? And furthermore,
can you get away with it?
Depending on the level of background checking, it's a lot easier to get away with a lie by
omission, in most cases, than to make up a school, degree or job experience you didn't
have and say you did. More detective work is involved when you simply leave things out, compared to making things up.
Besides any personal, moral dilemmas you may have with lying, you could come
across as shifty or suspicious, if you don't have more lies laying in wait to explain
what you were doing in the years of your omissions. It's a slippery slope, so if that
is your choice, be careful.
What might be a much better alternative is to simply meet the over qualified objections a
company might have about you, head on. Be proactive about it and don't ignore it in the
interview like the proverbial elephant in the room. Interview skills include knowing a lot
of the things you are going to say, in advance. Be ready to steer the interview to areas
you want to get to. Know where the hiring manager is coming from and how to make
yourself look as good as you possibly can in her eyes.
You could say, "I imagine you might be wondering why I'd be willing to take a pay
cut and/or a less powerful position than what I've been accustomed to, but I've got
to tell you I've come to realize that money isn't everything and power isn't always
what it's said to be. I am looking forward to having a job where I'm going to spend
more time with my family and I won't need to unwind for so long when I come
home from work.
Then go on to talk about what you like about the company and why you are a
perfect fit; and even ask the interviewer some questions, demonstrating your
eagerness to learn more about the company. If you get the distinct impression
that the hiring manager likes you a lot but may hold back pulling the trigger
for fear of you leaving, you can come out and say, "I'm sure you don't want
to hire someone who you fear isn't going to stick around. I assure you,
I'm not looking at this as a temporary position that I"m settling for. I see
this as long term and I look forward to growing from within."
By taking this tactic, you stand a decent chance of being taken seriously
and making it to the final cut. I feel I'd be remiss though, if I didn't
recommend taking an even more proactive stance for your quest for
gainful employment. There is an option for making a living where you are
your own boss and set your own schedule and never have to deal with
ridiculous concepts like being "overqualified". I'm a full time
Internet marketer and I'm the perfect example of how virtually anybody

How Much Should YOU LIe?
Excuse me for being blunt, but I'm asking you plain and simple:
How Much Should You Lie In Your Effort To Land Your Next Job?
It's a dog eat dog world out there and in today's economy the competition
only gets tougher, not easier. You know and I know that when it comes
to searching for employment there is no shortage of, shall we say,
creative embellishment going on.
A little revisionist history in the school grades department, or a bit of
sweetening of the job experience is quite common. And with so many
people doing it, the question arises, how thick should you layer it?
Obviously not to the point of needing a shovel to extricate your way
from the interview room, but isn't a certain amount of exaggeration
even expected by the hiring managers and sort of factored into their
decision process?
How much is too much lying and how little is too little?
I suppose it's a matter of opinion, and since you are reading this, you must
be asking for mine, so here goes: I don't recommend lying at all. Well, I mean
certainly not in the corporate world. With the advent of the information age, and with
this being an employer's market, it's just too easy to get caught in a web
of lies, and there are too many applicants who will be proven as honest,
for you to go down that tangly road. You'll probably do better showing
yourself as a blemished person who tells the truth than an out and out
liar. Does that make sense?
Here are some stats to ponder. More than 90% of companies run
background checks. More than 80% state that ANY discrepancy
between what was filled out on the application and what is found
to be reality will automatically toss the applicant out of the running.
More than half of all applicants lie on the applications; the kind of
lies that can be found out fairly easily.
The quickest way to get taken out of contention is to be proven as
one of them.And if you actually tell the truth and nothing but the
truth, you are going to be in the minority, and that could place you
well above the pack in your chances of getting the job. Of course if
you're a convicted cannibal, the truth might set you free, but it's not
going to get you hired, either; so as in most areas of life,
there are exceptions to the rule.
A less extreme type of exception might be in a situation that's
not so corporate. For instance you know someone looking
to replace his weed trimmer man for his landscaping biz.
You've used your weed trimmer for years, heck decades,
but this guy says he's only interested in hiring someone
with 7 years professional weed trimmer experience. Now
personally, I'd think after 5 or 6 years anyone would get promoted
to push mower, but this guy has this need to believe the next person
he hires is going to have 7 years of professional weed trimmer
experience... and who are you to take that away from him?
Seems to me like you could make up a story about some
out of business company you worked for in another state
in another era of your life, and the guy isn't going to find
out you're lying. So here I'd pose the question, what
harm does it do to tell this bizarre character who requires
7 years of professional weeh whacking that you had 12 and
three quarters years stemming from the mid 70's to the
late 80's as head weed trimmer extraordinaire with
Evergrow Green Landscaping Service in Skeeterville,
Kansas.
Yeah, it's technically immoral to lie, but it's also immoral
to let yourself go hungry or get to the position of begging
others to give you what you need.
I hope this helps you in your quest for work. Personally,
I don't know why everyone doesn't create their own
employment online. I have proven to myself that there
is a definite process that almost anyone can learn
to create a full time income with their computer.
There are no 'maybes' about it. It's not a matter of wishful
thinking, or hoping and praying. You learn a few basic
skills and rinse and repeat and you make money.

The Dreaded Background Check: OK, Now What?
You're looking for work. You have all your ducks in a row. You present a good
appearance including your apparel (right down to your shoes); you're well groomed
and have impeccable hygiene (it goes without saying),
You interview quite well. You know a lot of the questions that are going to be asked,
and you've learned some conversational techniques to buy you time so you can think
of answers to questions you weren't expecting. You're personable and charming
as well.
Your resume is in order. You 'I's' are dotted and your 'T's' are crossed, both literally
and figuratively. Your cover letter is downright professional.
Your application is neat and complete. You have not hesitated to provide
all the information including education, job history, and even former employers
contact addresses and phone numbers.
Just one little question: What about the background check?
Will there definitely be a background check? How important is it compared
to the other elements? If you are completely honest up front, can you
circumvent some of the unpleasant issue a background check will surely
bring?
I don't believe in sugar coating things, so let me entitle this next part...
THE BAD NEWS
Now more than ever before in recorded history, companies are scrutinizing the
people who come through their doors asking for employment; and in some
ways, rather unimaginable not that long ago. The information that is available
to them at the touch of a keystroke can be overwhelming to think about.
From the corporate standpoint there are heightened security concerns as
well as increased lawsuits blaming them with negligent hiring practices.
So it's simply in the interest of corporations to do thorough background
checks, and as smaller companies get overtaken by larger ones, this
trend is almost saturating the hiring market, Indeed more than 90%
or companies run background checks, and the number is constantly
going higher.
Some of the areas you can expect to be inspected include past employers &
immediate supervisors. Your driving record and credit history is easily
attainable and usually among the first to be apprised. Criminal history
and drug test results are also at the top of the totem pole. And depending
on the level of the position, do be surprised if investigators interview
your neighbors, relatives, former peers at past jobs, etc.
Lest we make no mistake, this is an employer's market.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The botom line is you can have everything else, all the other
job seeking components, down to a science and passed with
flying colors, but if you can't pass the background check with
a nearly unblemished record, you are not getting the job.
THE GOOD NEWS
The good news is the internet is the modern day gold rush.
And not only is it not too late, it is still in its INFANCY.
Internet traffic doubles every 100 days. You read that right.
Only 3% of people who claim they want to make money on the
internet, actually do so. So how is that good news? Because
the 97% who quit refused to learn the basic skills that virtually
anyone can learn. They try to take the easy way, and they
"invest" in one get rich program after the other, doing anything
and everything they can do, other than learn a few very basic
skills, and then rinse and repeat, as they say.
Are you one of them? I certainly was. Only did my stubbornness
save me from quitting. I hung around for 3 years wasting my
time and money, thinking that skills, yes, just the basic ones,
were beyond my ability..."Meant for other people, but not for
me" (to borrow from The Monkees).
Beyond skills, you just need the tools. One without
the other doesn't do it, but put them together, and
you'll be cooking with fire.
Even if you can't imagine making a full time living online,
the fact is, it could take MONTHS to replace your job.

A Couple of Unusual Ways to Find a Job
Here are a couple ideas that might help you land that elusive job.
We're assuming here you've done all the "normal" things like scouring the classified ads help wanted section and you've sent out your resume to every company and their sister that you would even remotely consider working for. And you've made your obligatory post on Monster.com, HotJobs.com & CareerBuilder.com; all, to no avail (at least, to no avail in the present time frame).
Well here's one idea that you can borrow from the world of Internet Marketing, (where I make my living, working from home). A classic technique we "I.M.ers" employ is to create reports and booklets, in PDF format and distribute them for free on the web. The subject matters pertain to areas we know a little something-something about, that, presumably a lot of other folks will appreciate the schooling
we're providing for them, and they will look upon us as a noteworthy source of information.
The idea here is for you to do the same on some subject of expertise (or even semi-expertise) relating to your field of employment and post it in places where hiring managers will see it. That's a fundamental rule of internet marketing. You must have a targeted audience for your offer pages. So where do you post your report where your targeted market (in this case, hiring managers) will be sure to see it? You hang out where they are known to hang out.
Forums and newsgroups. No matter what your targeted market is, you can almost always find forums and newsgroups pertaining to them. Go to Google and enter CAREER FORUMS, or JOB FORUMS, or HIRING FORUMS, EMPLOYMENT FORUMS, etc, and then do the same for NEWSGROUPS. You can look for specific niches, for instance, NURSING JOB FORUMS, TEACHER HIRING FORUMS, etc.,etc. Experiment and see what treasures you uncover.
Then register at the forums and read the rules regarding what you can and can not post. Most forums allow signature links; thus allowing you the ability to include a line with every post you make, promoting your free booklet. This is great because even if you are allowed to make a post announcing your free report, it is only one post. You want to do a lot more than that, and surely you wouldn't dream of posting the same announcement over and over. However, you can become a regular participant in the forums, genuinely contributing answers, opinions and questions. And every time you do, you'll be plugging your free booklet (via the signature file at the bottom of every post).
Hiring managers who scour these forums will take notice and you could find yourself out of the soup line and into a glorious cubicle before you know what hits you. That's a good thing...Right? Personally, I prefer to work from home and set my own schedule, but that's just me.
Okay the other off the wall idea for securing you own cubicle in a windowless room is called the old, "'Pretend to Send 'em Your Resume" trick...and it goes like this: Send out great cover letters to all those companies you've already sent your resume to and any new ones you can think of. Introduce yourself. hint that you you can heal the sick and raise the dead. (Come on. You know what I mean. Paint yourself in the very best light and don't be afraid to embellish. For instance, I'm overweight as I write this by a lot of pounds. If I were meeting a woman online I wouldn't tell how exactly how overweight I am. Just that I'm on the chubby side.)
Anyway, in your "cover" letter, provide some generalities as to why you make such a perfect fit for their company and refer to the specifics they will find in the enclosed resume. The only thing is, you don't enclose, you sneaky little devil you. You don't even seal the envelope. Are you kidding me? Congratulations. I didn't know you had it in you. You're thinking outside the box. I love it.
So you mail your letter and invisible resume and wait for the phone call(s). Some of these HR departments will call you telling you your resume was lost in the mail. Seems there was a problem with the glue on the envelope or something. Now it's time for you to shine my friend. Ask their name, how long they worked there. Tell how excited you are at the prospect for getting to work for their company, above all others. Inquire about how often jobs open. Tell that you're willing to start from down the food chain and work yourself up. Ask if you can come in for an interview.
At the very least, when you do send in your resume with a note to the person you spoke to, you are going to be remembered. Listen, every little thing helps in your quest for employment, and you just don't know what trick may be the one that opens the door for you. Got it? Good!
Alright, the last little idea I have for you for now is called:
It's Not Who You Know - It's Who You Know That Knows Somebody.
Ask everyone in your circle if they know anybody who works at the following companies; (and then list all the companies you want to work for). Whenever someone says yes, ask, beg, plead, cajole and even bribe if you have to (just kidding), if they would get in touch with them for you and see if they can give them your resume and have them put in a good word for you.
You just never know what will happen, and don't underestimate (or in the parlance of
G.W. Bush, "misunderestimate") the power of a half-hearted, less than personal
endorsement. People have gotten jobs simply dropping a name. If you can get
someone within a company to hand or even email your resume to their hiring
department, you might be surprised what happens.
Remember, we're talking about your livelihood here. You have to pull out all the stops, be creative, assertive and eternally hopeful.

Okay the other off the wall idea for securing you own cubicle in a windowless room is called the old, "'Pretend to Send 'em Your Resume" trick...and it goes like this: Send out great cover letters to all those companies you've already sent your resume to and any new ones you can think of. Introduce yourself. hint that you you can heal the sick and raise the dead. (Come on. You know what I mean. Paint yourself in the very best light and don't be afraid to embellish. For instance, I'm overweight as I write this by a lot of pounds. If I were meeting a woman online I wouldn't tell how exactly how overweight I am. Just that I'm on the chubby side.)
Anyway, in your "cover" letter, provide some generalities as to why you make such a perfect fit for their company and refer to the specifics they will find in the enclosed resume. The only thing is, you don't enclose, you sneaky little devil you. You don't even seal the envelope. Are you kidding me? Congratulations. I didn't know you had it in you. You're thinking outside the box. I love it.
So you mail your letter and invisible resume and wait for the phone call(s). Some of these HR departments will call you telling you your resume was lost in the mail. Seems there was a problem with the glue on the envelope or something. Now it's time for you to shine my friend. Ask their name, how long they worked there. Tell how excited you are at the prospect for getting to work for their company, above all others. Inquire about how often jobs open. Tell that you're willing to start from down the food chain and work yourself up. Ask if you can come in for an interview.
At the very least, when you do send in your resume with a note to the person you spoke to, you are going to be remembered. Listen, every little thing helps in your quest for employment, and you just don't know what trick may be the one that opens the door for you. Got it? Good!
Alright, the last little idea I have for you for now is called:
It's Not Who You Know - It's Who You Know That Knows Somebody.
Ask everyone in your circle if they know anybody who works at the following companies; (and then list all the companies you want to work for). Whenever someone says yes, ask, beg, plead, cajole and even bribe if you have to (just kidding), if they would get in touch with them for you and see if they can give them your resume and have them put in a good word for you.
You just never know what will happen, and don't underestimate (or in the parlance of
G.W. Bush, "misunderestimate") the power of a half-hearted, less than personal
endorsement. People have gotten jobs simply dropping a name. If you can get
someone within a company to hand or even email your resume to their hiring
department, you might be surprised what happens.
Remember, we're talking about your livelihood here. You have to pull out all the stops, be creative, assertive and eternally hopeful.

Create Your Own Job & Work From Home
OK, so you're out of work and you're doing everything you can
to secure employment but so far it ain't happ'nin'.
So what the heck are you gonna do? (Or at least, what are you
gonna do, in the interim?)
You've thought about a home business, surely, but everyone you
know who's tried it tells you they got a lot money flowing,
but in the wrong direction.
Well, what if I told you that if you have a fast access internet
connection, I can show you how to create multiple income streams, from
home, starting with zero dollars and thirteen cents? (Just kidding;
zero cents.)
This is for real, so pay attention: There's this Canadian dude, named
Joel Broughton. He's made millions on the internet, in large part by
creating lists of leads and following up with them, using email and
software programs known as autoresponders.
Well, now he is offering to help you create a list of leads that HE
will follow up for you, and make sales of "affiliate" products for you,
using his autoresponder system and email program, at no expense to you.
When I first heard this, I assumed the deal was, he would promote some
of his "affiliate links" along with some of yours, in this email campaign
that he is offering to anybody for the asking, but I was wrong. He will
only promote products using your links, (meaning that you will get
paid for, and not him.)
Why would he do this? Can you really make money with this? How much?
How will you get the leads that will be put into his autoresponder system?
The answer to why he's doing this is, there are upgrade options that some
people will want to join. There are 4 streams of income if these options
are taken, and 2 streams of income if you remain at the free level. You
are always more than welcome to stay at the free level.
Yes you can and will make money with this if you follow some simple
directions and work at it every day. The amount from one of the 2
income streams will be about a dollar per month per lead you get to join
your list. The dead simple method I will show you (that involves simply
surfing the web), is good for up to about 1000 members per year . That
means by the end of a year you can be making $1000 a month in residual
income on automatic pilot. That means about $2000 a month after 2 years;
$3000 a month after 3 years, etc., etc.
Obviously we are talking get rich quick, or get rich anything; but this
is keeping it real...(A rarity on the internet.) Remember, we're not
talking about spending a penny -- beyond your computer and internet
connection.
Also, keep in mind, there are other methods that you can learn that can
greatly add to that number by a few to several thousand, but not everybody
who attempts those other methods (like blogging) learn to crack the code.
Therefore I'm only dealing with the simplest, surest method out there --
which involves sitting in front of your computer and clicking web pages, so
I'm giving you the most conservative, non-hype, down to earth, realistic
numbers that the average Joe or Josephine can do. But there are many
people reading this who will be able to use other methods to grow their
list up to 5,000 members per year. (Again, we're talking about $1 per
person per month.)
Also remember, this is just one of 2 income streams at the free level.
The second stream can be any of literally thousands of possibilities.
That's because part of Joel Broughton's system uses your "Primary Business",
in other words, which ever business a person already is promoting. If
you don't already have one, you can easily find a free membership site
that has a free level, that will give you a monthly residual when people
sign up.
How much might you make from this second free level income stream? Trying
to keep it real, let's say it could grow to $500 a month by the end of
your first year, making for $1500 residual income per month; all from
sitting in front of your computer and surfing the internet a few hours
a day while watching the TEE-v.
Now mind you, this is talking about keeping it on the totally free level.
What will probably happen is, once you start making money, you will want
to increase your income by joining the first of the 2 optional programs.
It's just $10 a month, and if you're making a lot more than that a month,
you'll probably choose to make that investment to add a third residual
income stream; and when it pays off you might add the fourth one.
The beauty of this system is you never have to spend a dime, so if you do
choose to upgrade, it will be because you've seen the returns at the free
level and you understand it's a "no brainer" to so.
The name of this remarkable system is called, The New Rich Report and you
can find out more by clicking HERE now.
Incidentally, the dead simple, web-surfing method of promoting that I was
referring to is outlined in the short crash course, linked below, entitled
Power Surfing. You will
see a second link under it, which is extremely important in keeping your
computer safe. It lists free resources for anti-virus, anti-spyware software,
as well as a firewall, the safest web browser and an add-on for the browser,
as well as a program that will delete all the thousands of temporary folders
created on your hard drive daily, from the web surfing you'll be doing.
You can promote anything with the skills and knowledge you will gain in that
tutorial, but if you don't use it on The New Rich Report, your efforts may
largely be squandered because everything else out there pales in comparison
to this system. I have never seen anything like it.

How to Answer Any Question An Interviewer Could Possibly Throw At You!
If you, like millions of your country-men-&-women, are in search
of a job, then one of the most important skills you can acquire to aid
you in your quest for gainful employment -- unequivocally is,
INTERVIEW ANSWERS...(Or as I like to call it, The Art of the Interview.)
Imagine having the ability to answer ANY question a professional interviewer
could throw your way. How much value do you think that hold for you and
your chances of winning the job you seek?
You know what I'm referring to: What can YOU do for us that someone else
can't do? Why the gap in your employment history? What's your biggest
failure? What did you learn from it? What is an example of a problem
you had on a job and what did you learn from it? Have you ALWAYS
gotten along with every supervisor and co-worker?
You want to appear (and BE) poised and confidant.
You want to position yourself as the best candidate for the job.
You'd like to know ahead of time the kind of questions you will be getting.
You'd like to have your best answers already lined up.
You should know how to package and spin your actual work experience
to fit in perfectly to the job interview.
You'd prefer to eliminate the fear, once and for all, that you have
traditionally associated with job interviews.
Am I right?
If so, then you owe it to yourself to look at The Ultimate Guide to Job Interview
Answers. This is one download that can shave off weeks, months -- Who knows HOW LONG between you and your next job.
Let's face it, the interviewer knows ahead of time what s/he is going to say. Isn't it only fair for you to be on a more level playing field? Well now you can be.
Go HERE now to learn more.
