Are You Overqualified Because You Have A PhD?
- No matter who you are as a job candidate, there will be pros and cons. As a PhD, an employer may wonder if you have certain transferable skills or if you understand industry. One thing is certain: if you are the top candidate for the job, you will be hired.
- Don’t let your degree or an intimidating job description be an excuse for not applying. If they ask for 2-5 years of industry experience, apply. If they ask for a Master’s degree and you have a PhD, apply.
- Often hiring managers will adapt the role to the candidate. If you are a PhD and are applying for a job that requires a Master’s degree, the hiring manager will change the position to a more senior level or suggest that you apply for a more senior role in the company. If you prove your value, they will find a way to hire you.
