I’m not HR, I’ve managed departments, and even as non-management been involved in hiring decisions. And my hiring decisions are correct. The last 4 people I encouraged hiring have all had their 5th anniversary in the company and department. See that’s what happens when you understand who fits your situation and how people can be overqualified, you get keepers.
See both my experience AND your experience prove me right. Your need to lie to HR and insult people that disagree with you show exactly why you keep winding up looking for a job. Keep throwing the insults, every one you throw proves me right.
You are so myopic you can't see my point. IMO a person who finds himself laid off has every right to tailor his background and or resume to fit the job. Yes people do get desperate but it is better than going on the dole. I am not ashamed that I have been in that situation.
Fortunately I am fine now but if it were up to most hiring practices in this country a person might as well go into some kind of suspended animation until the perfect fit comes up. Well it doesn't work that way. We either suck off the govt. teat or take something that we are overqualified for until the economy improves or something else comes up. Those are the facts of life.
My guess you've never been young unemployed and needing a job to make it thru. You've been blessed. With that blessing comes ignorance.
exactly why you keep winding up looking for a job.
I've had the same job for over 10 years, making well into the 6 figures. But I will never forget what it was like in the early 80's to have rent due, getting laid off and needing ANY kind of job. Being told I was over qualified is something that ONLY happened to me once.
As a young layed off degreed engineer I applied to a large ME contractor to layout piping and HVAC duct - simple crap, didn't get the job because I was over qualified. That experience taught me "the game". Never again.
Never forget where you came from. In this economy I could end up doing manual labor, construction or restaurant work again.
