I suppose that depends on what you mean by "overqualified". I'm a computer programmer, and let's say I lost my job and started looking for a job in construction. I've never worked in construction before and while I'm not out-of-shape I'm not exactly ready for heavy-lifting.
So am I overqualified or underqualified? Or both?
- sin7 16y agoThat's easy. You are a construction apprentice and therefore, neither over nor under-qualified.
- jhamburger 16y agoI would think of it like this- If the job on paper requires you to be a high school graduate, you're overqualified because you have education beyond high school. If the job requires vocational training/certification/licenses/experience etc, that's a different story. The fact that you wouldn't be that good at the job in practice doesn't mean you're not overqualified.
