Being overqualified as applicant
Being told that you are overqualified is a cover for other concern the employer have. It could be about your motivation, salary expectation, development potential, ability to keep up with technology, age-fitting to the team, and alike. Dumb down your resume. Explain why the job is not a disconnect between your professional past. Assure the hiring manager that you are consciously choosing this path. Show excitement about the job and company. Grade your salary expectations appropriate for the position. Sell your extra skills as advantage for the employer. Connect with the hiring manager on LinkedIn, make sure you like and positively comment her posts.
