Still on the job hunt...how can I get by?

Question

I just found out I got denied a Data Entry position, when I have over 10 years experience with not only that but accounting, management, sales, admin, and consulting. How is this possible...Am I being competed against underqualified candidates. Don't know where to turn to.

Answer 1

Why did you ask this in the hunting section? Seriously? And I know I'm getting thumbs down for this one...

Maybe they didn't like the interview?

Answer 2

The YA bot put this in hunting because she used the word hunt in her question

We should set a better example in the hunting section than to belittle the asker and not even attempt to answer the question

Your problem could very well be your experience, I had the same problem so I got out o my field

I would imagine your profession goes through a lot of changes from year to year

Many employers do not want to hire "dinosaurs" that may have bad habits or that may not be able to adapt to new ways

You also list some other qualifications and say that the others are underqualified

It is possible that you are simply over qualified for the jobs you are applying for

I had a manager that wanted to hire  a way way over qualified applicant

The guy was practically a small time legend in our business and he knew every one that was anyone

I told my manager that oit would be a mistake to hire him because he didn't want the job he was applying for he wanted the managers job

I was right

The guy was there for 6 months and began a campaign to take the managers job away from the guy that hired him

If not for some sever under handed double dealing from me that I normally would not be proud of he would have succeeded

Point is

Most managers will not hire the guy that can get them fired  

Answer 3

Sell everything you have, buy a shotgun, and move to the Rocky Mountains.

Then you will start having questions that hunters could help with.

Good luck!
