Over-qualified & under-qualified

xiaobao

有时雇主说你over-qualified，别信。如果真是over-qualified，雇主不会去浪费时间去interview你。

over-qualified只是委婉的不伤人的refusal excuse。真正的原因通常是 - you are over-qualified in educational qualification but under-qualified in experience / skills.

再说 如果雇主想要educationally over-qualifed的你在一个entry level工作 for long term，那么别为这样的雇主工作，as there is no career development opportunities for you in that company.

分析的很有道理

感谢分享！

不过这样的雇主不太多吧，用人单位如果招perm的职位大多还是想long term retain的。

说的有道理。

我移民来澳五年，我的行业里做过三个公司，三个老板都说我是over qualified，但是从来没有问过任何关于我的学历方面的东西。
他们说over qualified的要点
是因为我过去
在国内做过design engineer，做过marketing manager，做过technical manager。。。
但是在澳洲都是surveyor， inspector，最多就是technical manager这样的职位。
大概这个就是原因了。

这样的雇主不少。

Long term retain doesn't mean you have to stay on the same entry level position forever.  Progressing to higher level positions within the same company is also long term retain.

Try to find out if there are career development opportunities during the interview - not easy, as not many employers would say frankly that there are no progress opportunities.

如果没有晋升机会，但你为了拿工作经验而想要那份entry level工作，那么面谈时别太锋芒毕露，
最好让雇主觉得你这人出了有很好的attention to details，没太多别的头脑，no initiatives, no career development plan / ambition, and you are happy to stick to one simply and easy job forever

From my first job (AP) in a large multi-national company:

My manager was really good at recruiting good canditates.  The only problem was: the girls would leave the company after one or two years.  The reason? - No career development opportunities, as managers were so well-paid that no manager would like to change job.

后来老板招人改变了“策略”，他招了一个我认为“愚蠢透顶”“朽木不可雕”的一
女孩。10年后她当时的同事全都换了工，工资是她的两倍甚至三倍，她还是stick in that same job happily.

Practice makes perfect.如今她是那家公司的AP元老

当然没有啦。10来个月开始觉得boring，但因为公司决定换system，用SAP，所以为了拿SAP的经验多呆了
一年
