  1. 1

    I used to be a high school teacher and later worked as a translator, but health issues in 2021 set me back significantly. For the past two years, I've been focused on my recovery and have completed a postgraduate program, aiming to find a part-time job in a library. I've applied for five positions so far, but the feedback has been discouraging. They keep telling me I'm overqualified, which I understand, but I assure them that this is a conscious choice for me. I genuinely want to work part-time at this level. Recently, I've also received comments that my personality is 'too strong' for the team. While I recognize that I can adapt and work well with others, it's frustrating to hear this as feedback. I'm not looking to debate my personality online, but I'm feeling exhausted and hopeless about the job search. If anyone has been in a similar situation, I would appreciate any advice or perspectives on how to navigate this. Thank you.
