Overqualified.
I have a hard time accepting truth. I always have to see things in a negative light. But the thing is, sometimes, it's hard to know what's truth or not. For example, I just got turned down for an entry level position at a public relations firm because they felt I was overqualified. Thing is, I feel that I'm totally NOT overqualified and and I want to be doing some of the menial tasks they would assign me to. So, is the 'you're over qualified' explanation just a gentle way of letting me down, or is it true?

すごい燃費亀 says: no way..that's retarded
Ben:俊曦 says: ya
すごい燃費亀 says: unless they want someone to brainwash
Ben:俊曦 says: i'm going to call them on monday. i'm gonna tell them "you know, I really do want this position and i'm really actually not that over qualified. I'm just good at bullshitting and i interview real well. What I need is a place to refine those qualities into the most kick ass account executive you've ever had"
they'll be like "well, we don't know..you seem to have quite a bit of experience"
and i'll be like "well, i do have experience, but I havn't had a mentor to focus my energy into a blazing sword of public relations goodness. I'm just brute bullshit right now. I'm so brutal, I fooled you all completely that you don't even know i fooled you. You think i'm awesome, but in fact, i'm ultra awesome, but completely undisciplined"
