Job seekers rarely consider the commitment made by a company when recruiting someone. Training, health care, salaries, office space, technology, equipment - this is the company's investment in recruiting new employees, along with the expectation that the performance of their new employees will be a return on their investment. Hiring managers often see a red flag (alarm) when the over-educated job seekers apply for jobs for a position. While job seekers see this as an advantage (because he felt more qualified than applicants mostly) the hiring manager sees him as fleas or someone who will not stay in the company long before finding a better opportunity.
A number of specific deficiencies come together with job seekers over-educated, with consideration of their higher education than other job seekers. "The problem is probably not over-educated" Marcia said Lareau, president of career-services company Forward Motion LLC. "The question that usually arises is, 'Is this person looking for something better, and it will go away if the opportunity came?"
Helen Cortez, human resources manager for Next Day Flyers, agrees. "Often when I read the resume, I find a candidate who at first glance seems to be over-qualified and over-educated for a job. As a company, we may be a little hesitant to bring these people. His focus is" working time ". There Burden when bringing new team members work, and there is also an adjustment by the team to work together. That does not mean we do not carry overqualified candidates, because we feel very fortunate to have people like that in our team. "
Employers also felt the same economic difficulties as job seekers. They know that over-qualified people who are willing to take a lot of work just to get a salary usual standard, but employers still need to make smart business decisions. Make it an easy choice to market your qualifications as an added value. "Companies want the best employees but also want a guarantee that workers will remain" said Amber Dixon, marketing director of Intermountain Financial Group LLC. "They realize that the individual is unlikely to stay with the company after the economy improves, but they can benefit from the knowledge of employees educated to it happening. And, they hope that individuals and companies will create a strong working relationship that will persuade employees to stay, but maybe in the capacity / higher position. "
If you are a job seeker overeducated, make your intentions and your career goals clearly in your cover letter and during interviews. "We have found that discuss this topic (over-educated) with prospective employees can be very enlightening" said Cortez. "Candidates may come to the stage in their lives, where they do not want to travel or where they want to be part of an organization which is smaller in the growth cycle rather than a Fortune 500 company right situation can bring the results into a win - win solution.
Also, emphasize the benefits of education and training. "I know that we are more concerned Educated than Overeducated," said Dixon. "In my network environment, many companies have said that they prefer to hire someone with a higher rate than a person without any degree in this economic climate." Ideally, you will find a job where there is room to grow. "The more productive is to apply for a job in which candidate gets the position to grow into higher" says Lareau. "HR professionals know that the best jobs are the ones with the right balance between experience and growth." Are You Over-educated or under-educated, or somewhere in between, explain why you are suitable for the job you are going to apply for.
After listening to some elaboration of the experts we can get a little interesting common thread that actually the company happy - happy just to accept people - those highly educated / overeducated because it could provide fresh ideas for the company, but of major concern / warning is whether people - people This highly educated could "stay longer" and not just to make the company today as a springboard just like the ones in bold above. Hence achieve high education - higher is not triviality - sian many benefits that can be taken, but keep in mind that the knowledge and skills without a good altitude and the commitment and professionalism of our interview time even while working a benchmark for the assessing ourselves.
The first course you prepare a Curriculum Vitae (CV) / Resume and would also prepare a cover letter, after so then because we live in the era of the internet, of course we are open vacancies in the Internet to be sent via e-mail, after a day in the cafe to send emails , you came home anxiously waiting for a job. However, a week, a month and up to widths no calls are coming, what the hell happened ? Let the call to work for just any job interview no call, oh fate ! Is there something wrong ?
