It makes no sense.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659946702584728654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16417107.post-26992311112242135382007-04-17T10:07:00.000-04:002007-04-17T10:07:00.000-04:00Hi,Because I don't know all of the details I could...Hi,<BR/>Because I don't know all of the details I could be totally wrong. Maybe they think you're overly qualified? For instance, we were conducting interviews for a job starting at $32k that really only required a bachelors degree and 2 years experience, if that. When a couple of people applied who had doctorates, masters and 25-years of experience we were wondering, "Why?" We feared we would be wasting our time for a 32k/year job. It isn't right, but just because you don't get an interview or a job doesn't always reflect poorly on you. My 2 cents! Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
