Right now I am currently on my way to a job interview. Prayers are certainly welcome :).
So far, I've heard back from one job and the interviewer emailed me saying the position had been filled, and that the reason I wasn't hired was because I'm too qualified. I didn't know there was such a thing?
"You are wonderful, you just have more potential than being a runner! This job was too entry level for you. I had to find someone that would stay in that position for a while. You will find something much, much better."
I appreciate that they saw a lot in me and were honest about it. It really inspires me to reach for bigger and better things. Maybe I will be something great one day. Here's to hoping!
Hope you all had a lovely week and enjoy your weekend. Love you, mean it.

ugh, being overqualified is a nice compliment, but also frustrating! good luck at your interview, hope it's a great match!
"Over-qualified" is often a nice way of saying that they want to find someone who will do the work for less pay. I hope you have better luck with your interview today.
I never thought much of the over-qualified until we were trying to hire a full time assistant at work - most were people that would probably get tired of the job after a month or so and my boss was looking for someone long-term. But the good news is that it means your perfect job is still out there for you! Praying for you this morning that your interview goes wonderfully.
I agree with Robin, however, it also means she knew you probably wouldn't be happy in the position long term, because there was probably limited room to grow (& probably not much of a pay raise to go with it either). Think of it as a blessing in disguise ;) God has something better in store.
Good luck on your interview! I totally agree... the weather is only frustrating once you have to go out in it. By staying safe and warm inside you can actually enjoy it a little. :)
Yeah being overqualified stinks! Just means they dont want to pay you what you are worth. Whats meant to be will find a way! Obviously you are on to bigger and better things already. Good luck!

Overqualified?! Then there is something better out there! I am sure you interview wonderfully. God bless your job search!
Saying a prayer for you!! My hubby is job searching too and it can be SO hard. Keep your spirits up - you'll find the perfect thing!
oh my gosh dear i wish we lived closer so we could hangout and get through this together!! i got the SAME THING. "you're overqualified." except my rejection didnt have that nice bit that followed yours. just remember you are NOT alone. i keep getting super down on myself but its just the nature of the times... itll happen and well wait for the right job and itll be worth it <3
you can do it! when god closes a door he opens a window :)
Hang in there girl...there is an amazing job out there for you!!
Good luck on the interview! I have heard a lot these days of people being "over qualified". I do hope you find just the right fit for you somewhere!
The best is yet to come and it's out there for YOU! Fingers crossed and wishing on those job-snagging stars! xoxo
Go get 'em girl. Good luck.
I hope you weren't actually on the way as you were typing this :)
But I'm sure you'll find a great job, and maybe this interview will be the last! Best of luck to you xoxo

We've had quite the winter storm for the past 24 hours, but I don't mind a bit as long as I can stay inside and be warm! I hope you find a job that suits you soon!
