    Is it possible that they aren’t calling you because you’re over qualified?

    It’s not uncommon to be standard practice to filter out anyone who’s over qualified because they tend to get bored, and they’ll ask for a lot more than less qualified candidates will.

      It may just well be bad luck or my competitors are just better. I have know way of knowing. I wasnt always as overqualified, the contacts I met always said keep trying as I gained more experience and education. I lost hope, now that I know they probably do assume that I dont want a non public sector career long term. I live in a big diverse city though and after so many attempts without a single call I cant help but wonder if /how I am the problem.
