Over Qualified ??? 

There is a fairly large company up the road from me that was looking for a Temporary Business Analyst to do some requirements gathering for a month or so...they wern't asking for much:

Business Analyst I

Employee Type: Seasonal/Temporary
Industry: Healthcare - Health Services
Job Type: Information Technology


JOB RELAVENT EXPERIENCE:
0 - 2 years experience in the field

So, for a temporary Gig to make a couple extra bucks, I applied....and a few days later, I talked to some man who went over my resume and then said I was "Over Qualified" for the position....that they were looking for someone more entry-level.

(1) So, why did he bother to call me if he already knew I was over qualified?

(2) For a 2-3 month Temporary position that is close to home, why would they take someone with 0-2 years experience and turn down someone experienced for the same amount of money? It can't be that someone would get bored and leave...because it is a Temporary position anyway.

(3) Maybe the manager was a newbie and wanted someone with even less experience.

 

Who Knows....Soooooo Funny.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
