When I apply for shop work I have no shop experience in the last 25 years therefore they will just dismiss me too but I have shown willing to apply for all types of jobs. All the replies I do get that say I am over qualified I take to the job centre and get them to put it in my record file as proof. They just shrug their shoulders at me
Either they think you'll leave soon, or they're discriminating you due to age and using that lame over qualified excuse. Try giving a reason like you now bought a dog and only want to work in a junior role so you can have more personal time off work.0 -
