At least it's not submitting more than one application to one of the few places in town over the span of a year-and-a-half... then getting to the interview and being told you're "too qualified" (had a witness there to hear that one).

Now that's just plain stupid. There's no real reasoning behind not hiring someone because they're too qualified, in my opinion.

Haven't heard that one before.

Well, I have a decent job due to that, but yes it is a rather stupid concept of being "over qualified".

Well, I guess they want to hire under-qualified people who fit a certain demographic to fill their affirmative action quota.
