Overqualified or under-qualified
Have you ever gone online and you see a job that you really want and you look at the skills that the person that's hiring put up and you say oh I got the skills I can do this job and when you apply and you got a response back they just say you're overqualified I mean really do managers or owners of companies want under-qualified people?

I totally understand what you mean Jose Acevedo .. I have definitely seen others in the community complain about this too. Someone said something that was pretty insightful about it.
Basically, they said that this happens when they think that you are going to eventually try to move up and/or ask more money than what they are willing to pay you for. And they just want to hire someone who is never going to move up.
Personally I think that is a hurtful hiring strategy - both for the company in question and the people. Having someone that is motivated to move up and take up responsibility is huge and could massively help a company. Just my 2c.
Thanks for bringing this topic up. How else has your job search been going?
