In the world of business, we love to talk about making things sexy. While the word has obvious carnal connotations, that isn't what we mean. Rather, we mean that we want to make a product or service attractive to consumers. In sense, when you are overqualified, you will need to take an extra step or two in order to look "sexy" enough to get the job you are after. Want to know how to achieve that goal? Keep reading, and I'll give you some pointers.

Ever since I got my Bachelor's Degree, I found it virtually impossible to get entry level jobs. For example, screeners for grocery stores, fast food establishments, and companies that tend to have plentiful job openings all told me that I was "overqualified". How can you be overqualified to bag customer purchases and stock shelves? Unfortunately, if you have a bachelor's degree that doesn't offer a lot of job opportunities without continuing further, you may find yourself having to build a career without relying on your degree to help you command a higher salary. This, in turn, creates a position where your employment options are not much better than those of a high school dropout.

There is no question that today's floundering economy makes being overqualified even more problematic than it used to be. In fact, I firmly believe that that not being able to effectively get lower ranking jobs will, in fact, be one of the key final death knells of the economy. Today, every single person that has lost a job, or remains unemployed is in serious need of rebuilding and regaining a financial footing based in reliable employment. This simply will not happen if you go on waiting for lost job sectors to return.

Chances are you find it hard to understand why knowing what needs to be done doesn't automatically translate into concrete and effective action. When it comes to being overqualified, there are very few resources that actually give you a blueprint. At best, your college counselors, and even labor representatives will help you polish your resume, or show you ways to improve your performance during an interview. What they most likely won't do is tell you how to gear each part of your job hunting process to overcoming issues associated with being overqualified. As may be expected, when you don't know how to do something, you will make a lot of mistakes, and eventually feel that finding a job is impossible.

I will never tell you that rebuilding your career is easy. I have done it three times; and each time was a struggle I could have done without. Nevertheless, what I learned over the years amounts to a literal treasure trove of advice on how to get a job when you are overqualified. If you need a blueprint, then let me show you what needs to be done. I sincerely hope that you will visit my website, and learn more about my ebook, Overcoming the Overqualified Myth.
