Overqualified...

[Provost Harrison]

Interesting isn't it. Been rejected for one job because I was overqualified. It was only an ongoing agency job, but I could have walked it, even if I would find it slightly tedious. But hell, I need the money.

Have you ever been rejected from a job because you are overqualified?

I find it quite flattering, but still kind of annoying.

[SlowwHand]

I hear that much more than that I'm not qualified.
A pisser? You're damn skippy it's a pisser.

It's because you'd find it tedious and could walk away to a better job at any time that you are overqualified.

[LTEC!]

Overqualified means that they're sure you can do the job but they're not willing to pay you the money you're worth.

I had girls tell me I was too good for them (wasn't me, twas them!), does that count?

[MikeH]

Did your sarcasm meter explode when they told you that?

[Drekkus]

Yes, it's been broken since. So watch it with the jokes, I might start using CAPS LOCK IN AN UGLY WAY!!

That usually means your too nerdy/boring.

Yeah I have been told I was over qualified, and the reason they don't hire over qualified people is
1 because they know you won't stay because you are capable of so much more and
2 you will eventually want a raise which they probably can't afford, so they want to bring someone in at entry level so they can pay them entry wages!! It is annoyong especially when in need of a job.

Reallllly??? I DID not know that.

But thanks for pointing out my shortcomings.

please refrain from other 'short' jokes, my ego's hurt enough as it is.

I've been told I was too nice and then listened to complaints that there weren't enough nice guys around in the space of one drunken evening's ranting.

Awww that's just mean!! but it is true in some cases, maybe not yours Drekkus

Shortcomings??

Although girls like the dangerously handsome party type for dating, they will usually go for NORMAL guys for serious relationships. The process to figure it out though takes a few years and some women don't figure it out at all. (See Jerry Springer).

So when girls tell you that you're too good for them, it usually means that they're not ready to go out with a normal nice guy yet.
Stay good. It works...eventually.

I think in his case it's probably down to the afro.
