Über diese Folge
<p>You've applied for the job, you've done the interview, and then been told that you're "overqualified" or "too senior". The truth is, this feedback can often be misinterpreted. </p><p>In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma go over some of the reasons why you might be getting this feedback, what to do if it ever happens to you - plus a few tips on how to improve your chances of getting hired if you DO want a role at that level.</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Elizabeth who bought us 3 coffees! “Listened to your pod as I was gearing up to leave my receptionist job and landed a job recruiting participants for clinical studies. I have always loved research and it's so nice to be doing something interesting and meaningful, and with a very cool small company where my creativity is valued, and with the most hardworking yet fun coworkers. I still listen to you of course because the tips are always interesting, I love the banter, and you keep me with it (quiet quitting and other trends haha). Thank you so much, keep up the great work <3” Congratulations and thank you so much Elizabeth</p><p>👩💻 To book an interview coaching session with Sarah, go to <a href="http://www.interviewboss.com.au/coaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.interviewboss.com.au/coaching</a> </p><p><br></p><p>💗 Follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/interviewboss/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p>💻 Check out our website for free jobseeker resources</p><p><a href="https://dashboard.whooshkaa.com/567c163a/episodes/735473/www.interviewboss.com.au" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.interviewboss.com.au</a></p>
