To Interview..or not to interview

When you know that you are overqualified for a job, what should you do? Lots of job boards will advise you to take the interview and convince the interviewing manager that hiring you is an investment in the future.

But what if the job you are overqualified for is not an investment in YOUR future?? Last week, I interviewed with a company for a job for which I was way overqualified. At the end of the very short interview, the company officer and I both decided this was not a match.

It felt right to walk away from this, even though I liked what the company was doing and what it stood for. Despite what everyone else advises, I think you still have to keep your eye on the prize and find the job that is right for you.
