Ok, so I know there must truly be a depression in the midst. (severe understatement) But how in the world am I over qualified for every position I have applied for? I'm just looking for a job for the summer to pay off some bills. I'm not looking to get rich here! Its such a coincidence that we are talking about this subject in my legal ethics class right now.
My brother told me that I should take my degrees off my resume and maybe I can get a job. I have a few things to say about that. 1) I have worked tooooo hard for those degrees and I refuse to take them off to get some dollar above minimum wage job. 2) I have worked toooooo hard for those degrees and I refuse to take them off my resume to get some dollar above minimum wage job!!!!!!!! I dont get it....
Maybe thats God telling me to still be hungry for work, because faith without works is dead! I trust God to give me what I am in need of! But this is crazy...
I never would have been in this position if my school wouldnt have cut my aid without letting me know what they were doing! They cut me almost 3 grand of what I was supposed to get back in a refund check. But, its a blessing because I wont have to pay that back in April, but I still need to live in the summer, ya dig!
Well, its about to storm here, so I dont want to be on too much longer. You know how it was back in the day at Grandma house when it stormed. You had to cut everything off and sit in the basement in silence!!!! I'm not saying I'm about to do that, but old things still live within me....lol.
Much love and Many blessings!
Tiffany!

Missed you! I get that too! I just want to manage an office or work as an executive assistant. Sigh. I wish you luck!
Same here! I know the feeling. I wish you luck out here girl because it is hard!
God is GOODDD all the time. =]...never put ur work down, God knows the position He wants to put u in..keep ya head up
I have to say, you have to make two seperate resumes... one for you field with your degrees, and one for the general purpose... I have been denied a couple times for having a bachelor's.. I hate to dumb it down, but with the way things are, you just might have to...

@dadj_21 - what about filling out applications though. I'm not just going to skip that section. I do have 2 separate ones but they both have at least my B.S. But when asked on an application, I dont care where it is, I'm going to put it down on that paper. I know that may sound stubborn, but I just cant skip over something so important to me.
@godsreflection - I just said on the resumes... I never said on the application... I have a degree and I think I wouldn't deny that either... I just said you have to dumb it down to where they will take a remote look, not skip over anything... you took it enitrely the wrong way...

@dadj_21 - I'm sorry, I didnt mean for that to come off like that. I knew exactly what you meant. I apologize for that!
Maybe apply for things you're "under qualified" for as well as "overqualified" for...this economy is a killer...
I was in Detroit this past weekend...and I've seen what it has done to that City! scary stuff...
This economy is not allowing for stubbornness...It's just the way of the beast...
Welcome back!
Over qualification has always been something that intrigues me. Its like, if I'm applying for the job, I need a job, don't do my a favor by sparing me this job because its not on as high a level as I deserve lol
Awww...the storms. I kinda liked them, we would all sit on the porch if the rain wasn't too hard and relax. I miss those days.
I am going to pray for you and the job thing.
