Over-qualified means this. They don't want someone that is overqualified, because, that means the person is taking a job less than their potential and prob lower pay too, and so they think the person will take the job just because they are desperate for a job, but as soon as a better offer comes along, that they have credentials to do, and is better pay, they will leave this job. That's what i think they think. But, you have a second interview coming up, a second interview is always a good sign, hope it goes good :) :) :)

Ahhhhhh, Okay got ya.

And Thanks! :)

Yep - sometimes you have to play your self down - because if they think you are over qualified they wont employ you because they think you will get bored.

Yes, or that you'll carry on looking for a job more suited to your qualifications and be off the minute you find one!

Happy Birthday for last Sunday (gosh, I remember 33!)

How's it going with the chickens? I've got a hen sitting on 12 eggs from the neighbour at the moment (we don't keep a cockerel) Shame I can't send you some chicks - maybe by Pan Am with stewardess attendance?!

Thanks.
Well I am within what the town calls their zone even though I am not in the town limits themselves so they said there would not be a way for me to keep even one chicken unless all the neighbors on my street and the one that runs perpendicular to me agrees to it. So I would have to collect their signatures and show to the permit issuing office down at town hall. Thats 22 houses and I know 2 of them wouldnt sign it cause they dont like animals of any kind. They complain whenever they see anyone walking there dog down the road. So alas, no chickens for me.

Oh, what a shame Henry! Sure you can't bribe them with promises of eggs?
