trailofsparks Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) For those of you who are suffering due to unemployment: A friend of my dh's was unemployed for a while. He found the organization and position where he wanted to gain employment, then he did a few creative things to catch their attention. When they said he was overqualified, he submitted this Harvard Business Review article to them. From there, within a total of 3-4 interviews, he also negotiated a higher pay for himself. He starts his new job next week. http://blogs.hbr.org/hmu/2011/03/should-you-hire-an-overqualifi.html When I heard this, I thought of you all b/c I had read a thread someone started about this. I tried to find the thread, but gave up after a few minutes. I hope this can inspire or help someone. Just realized I started this thread in the wrong place! Sorry - crosspost in General now.
