I recently faced a frustrating situation in my job search. Currently, I'm an area manager at an Amazon warehouse, which is my first significant role, but I absolutely hate it. I hold two master's degrees—one in business and another in finance—but I've been struggling to transition into corporate America or even secure a decent desk job. I've been receiving rejections for positions because hiring managers consider me overqualified. Just recently, I interviewed for a role, but I was rejected because the hiring manager believed I would be more likely to leave the position due to my skills and experience. I've expressed my interest in staying long-term with the company, but it seems my qualifications are working against me. I'm contemplating whether I should 'dumb down' my resume to make myself a more appealing candidate for the roles I truly want.
