Overqualifried follow this blog post

We often use the term overqualified. I see or talk to so many people in this category that I am overqualifried!! Maybe 10% of the resumes I see are actually geared to our business. Why would a multi-degreed science-focused doctorial candidate want to sell cars? I know I cannot understand an individual's rationale. It is the personal choice of someone to choose a position to seek; just please change your resume to match the position.
 
It is also becoming more common place to call candidates up and quickly understand that they have no clue who you are. They have splashed their resumes unto the e-universe wall in the hopes that one or two will stick. There are no absolutes though. We have an excellent salesperson selling cars for us here in Cary, North Carolina who practiced law in California! That reminds me; I need to see him... I like California.
