Here is the honest answer from someone who has hired people.
If you are over qualified for the job, the deal is that you will keep looking and quickly switch to a job better suited for your talents.
That means, I need to spend a bunch of time and money looking for a new candidate and spend money and time on training and getting them up to speed.
Hiring someone is extremely time consuming and pretty expensive. There are tons of no tangible things that go into considering who to hire.
Bit idea: apply to jobs with the express desire to get hired and ghost them after two weeks
today is my first day at seventeen new jobs. half of them i will show up to and leave at lunch, the other half i will never show up to at all. why? the world may never know.
Wait, what if you hired someone to represent you in an interview? You could have a professional interviewer who paints the applicant in the best light possible. Take 10% of every paycheck for the first 6 months if they get hired, call it a day.
