Tech-support Hall of Shame

[zscoundrel]

Yeah, me too!  It really bites when you go for a job interview and 
instead of just looking to see if you are qualified, they get all hung 
up becasue I am over qualified.

Gee, thanks for looking out for my carreer, but if I wanted to do what I 
did in my last job, I would go work for IBM in Atlanta or where ever 
that office is that handles that particular micro-specialty.  I/T is 
supposed to be a dynamic industry, why can't the employee's be dynamic 
too???  Perhaps I WANT to take a step back and take my career in a 
different direction because the niche I was in REALLY SUCKED!!!

Sheesh!  If I didn't want the job I was interviewing for - I would be 
out playing Pool or riding the bike!

Note to petential interviewers:  Over qualified means having MORE 
QUALIFICATIONS than what is required to do the job.  It does NOT mean 
'unable to do the job'!

If I bring more skills to the job than a minty-fresh MSCE right out of 
school, that's my problem.  Pay me what the job is worth and I will 
decide if I want to do it.  That is the cool thing about experience.  It 
means I know how to do a lot of cool things, and can choose to do what I 
like to do.
