  The Benefits of Being Overqualified

Many seasoned job seekers find themselves being

called overqualified because they have more years

of experience than the job description calls for. Learn

powerful strategies to overcome your interviewer's

misconceptions about you. It's impossible to BE

overqualified unless YOU believe you ARE

overqualified.
