Hello,
Yes I like this, thinking outside the box as the saying goes.

Then as well we have the people who cry about no work etc.

We also have those that get so much from DHSS that they are now work shy.

For those that want to earn, work is there and on the internet A few good incomes can be had if you check reviews out.

I have found out about a new club which helps people from all walks of life to have a great income within 90days.

Better still with the invite it is Free for now.

I would like to and I am trying also to help people,I feel I am doing something worth while.

All The Best in 2011.

Myra.

Let's not forget that some people apply to jobs knowing they are not a fit, but are just looking to get their foot in the door – it happens at all levels.

The "HR idiots" know the salary range of the job, which more than likely wasn't posted with the description he applied to, which means they probably wanted someone cheaper, which means "overqualified" more than likely means "too expensive" which is a 100% valid reason to pass on a resume.

But this was written back in 2006, when "overqualified" meant the same thing as "too expensive" so you shouldn't feel too sad.

This doesn't make me laugh, all it does it makes me sad. Yet another person turned down for being "overqualified" and his resume is being used as an opportunity for someone else. So sad to me. I am sorry that I am saying this since it is your mom but…just hurts my heart.

I always love how HR idiots can make up the mind of the person appling for the job. Your mom says he's overqualified yet he didn't think so because he applied for the job.

At least you mother should interview him and see if he'll be as bored as she thinks he would be doing the job.

You could even accelerate his departure with telling his company that he is looking elsewhere.

this seems kind of dirty.

This is terrible advice!! So what your mom (and you) are saying is that you have to already have a job, an HR-related job or upper-management job at that, in order to get the information about a potential job opening via a resume from someone – information no normal people have.
