Add a question you want answered today en-us 2021-03-04 16:19:15 UTC 2021-03-18 10:45:56 UTC hello@padlet.com Years ago, my company went into administration and rather than claim benefits, I applied to work in bar (short term), but was told that I was overqualified :( https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324663404 2021-03-18 10:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324663404 https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324685868 Yes, I have. It was a recruitment exercise, and it wasn’t said explicitly. I just got the run-around a lot about the income level I expected to be on, and the kind of work I was expected to do. I got the message when hey left me hanging for weeks, and wiffle-waffled on a definite response. ]]> 2021-03-18 10:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324685868 https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324701670 I applied for a position of a support worker and during the interview I was told because of my previous degrees of (BBA & MBA), they feel I will look down on the job and they feel I will leave them in the future. I managed to convince them during the interview and they gave me the job. I turned it down eventually, because I felt I will not be welcome.

What will you advise when you have previous degrees in (BBA, MBA & MSc). But you are now having a strong passion for Civil engineering which you want to build a career on. Is it advisable to undertake a BSc in civil engineering? Will I be overqualified? ]]> 2021-03-18 10:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324710754 I have some years of working experience before I start my master’s study. Am I overqualified for applying for the graduate programme or graduate job? ( in the same industry as I worked before, but maybe a different new role) https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324718580 2021-03-18 10:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324718580 What would you advise if you are a mature student with many years of experience. Do you include all of your work experience on your CV? https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324776604 2021-03-18 10:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/em123/oq/wish/1324776604
